[VITRINE] Liquid gold - Indian woodblock printing with Sunaina Bhalla: Workshop

Another tongue-in-cheek nickname for our beloved durians is "Liquid Gold" . Join artist Sunaina Bhalla for a hands-on workshop that brings a modern twist to the timeless art of Indian woodblock printing.

Using black and gold inks, participants will explore the traditional stamping process and experiment with creative layouts on an piece of their choice—such as a tote bag, tea towel, or dinner napkin. Discover the many creative and modern applications of block printing, and take home your own beautifully hand-printed piece.
