Discover the Timeless Art of Indian Hand Block Printing
Join Threads of India for a unique hands-on workshop where you will experience the beauty of traditional Indian hand block printing, a centuries-old craft that continues to be practised by skilled artisans across India.
Founded by Sonu Dua, Threads of India celebrates ethical fashion, handcrafted textiles, and the rich stories behind every piece. This workshop is more than just learning a craft—it's an opportunity to connect with India's vibrant textile heritage in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Begin with an introduction to the fascinating history of hand block printing and watch a live demonstration of how intricately hand-carved wooden blocks and layered printing techniques transform plain fabric into beautiful works of art.
You will then create your own unique design using authentic wooden printing blocks and professional textile inks, guided step by step throughout the session. No prior experience is required, making this workshop perfect for beginners, families, friends, and anyone looking to explore their creative side.
As part of the experience, enjoy traditional Indian tea and light refreshments while connecting with fellow participants in a warm and inspiring setting.
You'll also have exclusive access to the Threads of India Pop-up Boutique, where you can browse and shop a curated collection of handcrafted Indian clothing, scarves, home décor, accessories, and artisan gifts.

I’m Sonu, founder and creative director of Threads of India. For years, I’ve immersed myself in the timeless craft of traditional Indian hand block printing, spending hours with artisans, learning their techniques and designing collections that carry the soul of this ancient artform into modern fashion. Now, for the very first time, I’m bringing this incredible craft to Adelaide.
My workshops aren't just about printing patterns on fabric. They're about experiencing a centuries-old tradition that is as meditative as it is creative. You’ll get hands-on with beautifully carved wooden blocks with beautiful motifs, and natural non-synthetic colours which you will use to make something beautiful. Along the way, I’ll share the stories behind the art, how it’s shaped my journey and my brand, and why block printing has become such an important way for me to connect Adelaide to the artistry of Rajasthan, India. Whether you’re an art lover, a maker at heart, or just curious to try something new, this is your chance to slow down, create, and walk away with something truly personal and handmade.
Adelaide, I can’t wait to share this journey with you let’s create something beautiful, together.
