Description

Celebrate the season of gathering with an afternoon of color, creativity, and connection. Explore Indian woodblock printing—a heritage craft passed down through generations, in which carved wooden blocks transform fabric into intricate patterns, one impression at a time. Discover the beauty of making by hand and the importance of keeping traditional crafts alive.


Teaching artist Trisha Gupta will introduce families to fabric and surface design using border blocks and pattern blocks. Learn how to place, ink, and seal your designs as you personalize a bandana, T-shirt, or tote bag. Families will also contribute to a collaborative mandala, bringing individual prints together into one shared circular artwork.


Enjoy time together, explore a rich creative tradition, and make something uniquely your own. No experience needed!
