Gone are the times when only artists got to indulge in the play of design and crafts using different techniques. Many studios today are transforming the landscape by making unique artistic practices accessible to all. Wherein one can learn about a variety of printing techniques that take a more ethical and conscious approach towards crafting prints. These workshops around India can not only help you unwind but also introduce new ways of production into your life. So here are a few interesting printing workshops to lookout for.
Block Printing
The traditional practice of block printing is the earliest and simplest technique of textile printing. It has become synonymous with Indian handicrafts and is practised by many artisanal communities around the country. Making this tradition rooted in sustainability and green practices more relevant with the masses, an artisan group from Bangalore is now helping regular citizens craft their everyday items. Organised by Tharangini Studio, the event will be an amalgamation of art, song, music and stories. The workshop will be taking place on 11th March and the tickets will soon go live on their page.

One can translate intricate designs onto paper or other materials using a mesh which is used to transfer ink. Pulp Studio based in Delhi has been organising these workshops for years now, these interactions are run by craft practitioners who have been creating serigraph prints for decades. All the required materials will be provided by the studio and you can book your spot for their weekly workshop on their website.

Cyanotype Printing

It breaks away from a hyper digital era and indulges in the love of old school analogue techniques. One can create striking photographic images using a cyan-blue tinge and natural sunlight. Chennai to Biennale Foundation is now making this process accessible to all through ‘Learn From Home Workshops’. You can purchase a kit that carries all required materials and artist Varun Gupta assists the students in the e-learning process.
