Sunday 7 September, 2-4 p.m.: Workshop, Block Printing with Isabela Streeter of Haveli Diaries
Museum of the Home, 136 Kingsland Road, London E2 8EA
Discover Indian Block Printing in this hands-on workshop inspired by the textiles an ayah (nanny) might have brought with her from India in 1878. Explore the rich history behind this centuries-old craft, learn traditional techniques, and create your own printed fabric to take home.
Led by Isabela from Haveli Diaries, this session celebrates the beauty of handmade textiles and the cultural stories they carry across time and place.
The session will begin with a brief introduction by Isabela, exploring the history of block printing and its significance in Indian textile traditions. She will also provide insights into A Townhouse in 1878 and its connection to stories of migration and craftsmanship.
Participants will then have the opportunity to experience this centuries-old technique firsthand – choosing from hand-carved wooden blocks and printing their own unique patterns. By the end of the session, each participant will have their own hand-printed cushion cover to take home, carrying forward a tradition that has spanned generations.
