Print Off the Block A Textile Trail in Jaipur

Visiting local production workshops and discussions with designers and textile producers is really what allows us to develop a fuller appreciation and outlook into a world filled with color and seeped in tradition and old-world techniques.

Getting an interactive, hands-on experience, unlike any other by leading textile craftsmen offers us a fresh new perspective on the technical composition of Indian textiles as we pace ourselves through exquisite handmade garments adorned with silver and gold warq printing.

With a textile designer at the helm, we leap into the sensitivity of blending block prints and traditional textile designs and accessories now taking the form of contemporary fashions. . A visit to a traditional block maker and printer provides us a peek into his collection of exquisite brass blocks, hand blocks which are no longer available and are priceless.
