Workshops

We are a small team practicing and offering courses, workshops in traditional techniques in block printing and natural dyes. Over many years, hands-on craft experiences have taught us the bounty and fragility of Nature’s colours. We are delighted to share this knowledge with you.

We have created a series of workshops, where we delve into the nuances of ‘how to’ in natural dyes, pastes and other craft practices. Our workshop is for anyone (beginner or expert) who wants to learn about crafts processes.

If you have the time, we have the space. Join us in exploring this wonderful world.

Our Studio

The countryside location of our studio is designed to be healthy, comfortable, and welcoming. The design prioritizes open spaces for people can move around and socialize freely without feeling confined.

At Your Schedule

Tell us your preferred dates and we will organise a workshop for you.

We never really crowd up our workshops with too many people. We keep a threshold of 3-4 participants. Our experience is that more interactions with people with similar interests during the workshop enhances learning for all the participants.

Curious Case of a Designer

Are you a designer trying to make sense of the complex structural maze of craft production in India? The sheer degree of diversity and specialisation of works can be daunting.

Relax.

Our most extensive (eight-day) program will demystify it all for you.

Group Learning

We encourage a learning space that enables one not only to learn but also to share, question, laugh and develop deep intersubjective relations with it’s co-learners from varied backgrounds.

What Does Not Look Glamorous

...but should be done in a workshop!

The process of ‘making’ is best understood when exposed to a variety of facets.

Breathe Easy

The countryside location of our studio has been designed with natural ventilation in mind, with large windows and doors that allow the breeze to flow through.

The design prioritizes open spaces for people can move around and socialize freely without feeling confined. The pockets of privacy and community provide a sense of security and belonging. The studio embraces industrial style and leaves essential elements and services exposed, albeit neatly arranged, providing easy access for maintenance.
