Welcome to a beginner-friendly class for learning block printing to design a personalised t-shirt, dress, or table runner.
Block printing is an ancient craft of stamping designs on fabric using hand-carved wooden blocks and natural dyes, with origins tracing back to the Indus Valley Civilization (3500–1300 BC) and significant flourishing under Mughal Empire patronage in the 16th to 18th centuries. The practice was historically centred in Rajasthan and Gujarat, where it served as a marker of social identity and status before becoming a major global export.
In Sindh, Pakistan, the regions of Hala and Thatta are renowned for Ajrak, a distinctive fabric characterised by its deep blue, red, black, and white palette and deep cultural significance. In southern Punjab, particularly in Multan and Dera Ghazi Khan, block printing remains a cherished heritage in fashion wardrobes.
