Indian Block Printing: An Inspirational Project Book - Paperback
by Holly Jones (Author), Tess Grace (Author)
Immerse yourself in India's textile heritage with 14 projects on fabric, card, paper and clay.
These modern step-by-step projects draw inspiration from the artisans working in traditional block print workshops around Jaipur. From simple motifs to intricate patterns - and from tablecloths and tote bags to air-dry clay and gift wrapping - the instructions can be followed both by beginners and experienced crafters. Colourful photographic sections are woven into the text, providing details of the authors' visits to block carvers, printers and dyers in the Jaipuri villages of Sanganer and Bagru, and how what they learn can be applied to your own designs. You will find out how Indian block printing is more than just an art form. It's a conscious and creative way of living.Tess Grace has a background in craft, has trained extensively with master block printers in Rajasthan and has taught hundreds of crafters to print at The Indian Block Print Co. studio in the Oxfordshire.
Holly Jones worked as a studio assistant for Annie Sloan before joining the Indian Block Print Co.
