Festival of Making: Block Printing with Natasha Taheem

Print your own bandana using a mix of traditional hand-carved Indian woodblocks and contemporary block designs by artist Natasha Taheem.

Explore the techniques behind textile block printing, learning how to prepare fabric, work with pigment, and build up patterns using border and motif blocks inspired by traditional bandana layouts.

Learn how to chalk up fabric, apply pigment evenly and achieve a clean, crisp print. Drawing on traditions of Indian block printing, the workshop offers an introduction to the creative possibilities of working with hand-carved blocks and repeating patterns.

Using fabric pigment on 100% cotton, experiment with pattern, repetition and composition to create a unique bandana design of your own to display or wear.
