About Special Events & Announcements
Whether you are picking up a block for the first time or refining your technique, we provide everything you need—from organic GOTS-certified dyes to our vast archive of teak wood blocks. You do not need prior experience, just a curiosity for slow, intentional craft. Expect a day of messy hands, freshly brewed filter coffee, and the quiet joy of creating something lasting in our Sadashivnagar estate.
Our studio, nestled near Sankey Tank, is more than just a place of work; it is a space for slow living and connection. We host a variety of events throughout the year, designed to help you step away from the city noise and engage with the ancient art of textile making.
What You Can Expect
Our workshops are immersive. Whether you join us for a day of block printing, a deep dive into woodblock carving, or a seasonal sustainable dyeing session, the experience is hands-on. You will be guided by master artisans—many of whom have been with us for generations—who share not just their skills, but the history of the motifs you are printing with.
Types of Experiences
- Block Printing Workshops: Learn the registration and printing process, and take home a canvas tote or scarf printed by your own hands.
- Woodblock Carving Masterclasses: A rare opportunity to learn how to carve your own teak wood block using traditional hand-forged chisels.
- Sustainable Dyeing Sessions: Forage for botanicals and learn the chemistry of natural, organic dyes.
- Community Events: We regularly collaborate with local musicians, embroidery artists, and chefs for curated, multi-sensory workshop days.
Everything is provided, including the fabric and dyes. We believe that craft is a language that brings people together, so our sessions are designed to be social, relaxed, and incredibly grounding. If you have a specific garment, like an heirloom saree, we also host special 'Revive and Renew' days where we guide you through the process of giving new life to your pre-loved textiles. Keep an eye on our event calendar to see what is coming up next at the studio.
