Block-printing workshop

The art that inspired the printing press

The technique of printing from wooden blocks onto paper and textile, originated in China and spread across Asia. It may have inspired the first engraved woodcuts that lead to the printing press. This technique is still widely used in India, mostly on textiles, and Travel Scope can offer you a block-printing workshop to learn the art and skill.
