As part of our ongoing wellbeing activities, DAMTP will be hosting an Introduction to Indian Block Printing Workshop run by Jenny from Emerald & Embers. 

Date: Friday 17 April 2026

Explore pattern, symmetry, and colour through the traditional craft of Indian block printing. 

This two-hour hands-on workshop, led by Jenny Rampling from Emerald & Embers, introduces a centuries-old Indian technique using hand-carved wooden blocks to create striking, repeating designs on fabric. In a relaxed and welcoming setting, participants will experiment with colour, rotation, repetition, and composition while creating their own hand-printed textiles to take home. 

It is a chance to step away from desks and screens, enjoy a mindful creative pause, and spend time making alongside colleagues in a friendly, social atmosphere. 

Alongside the creative experience, this workshop is also an environmentally conscious one. Block printing is a low-waste craft that uses reusable wooden blocks, water-based textile paints, and natural fabrics. 
All materials are provided. 

No experience needed. Just curiosity
