What You’ll Do
Nearly a millennium before the invention of Gutenberg’s printing press, the Chinese were using the art of block printing to embellish textiles with patterns and text. During a three-hour workshop, designer Rekha Krishnamurthi teaches you the ancient technique as you print a fabric design of your own. Following Rekha’s lead, participants carve a linoleum block with a custom pattern, then use it to decorate a piece of cotton fabric they’ll take home at the end of the session.
