The beauty of hand block printing lies in what a machine could never perfect. ✨
Every slight variation, every imperfect line, every impression carries the touch of the artisan behind it. What began as a small in-house block printing unit at Khatoons has grown into a craft we continue to preserve, refine, and proudly call our own. 🤎
Because handmade was never meant to look identical-it was meant to feel special.

Sometimes I get so excited about a block print that I can’t commit to just one color. I went with indigo for a euro and marigold for a decorative pillow for the Mahin. #blockprinting #blockprint

Gujarat is known for its communities of artisans who for centuries are practising block printing using natural dyes.
But do you know that air circulation or air ventilation plays a crucial role in block printing? If air circulation in a block is not correct, the print will be of a poor quality.
So how do these wooden blocks of sagwan ensure air circulation? And how did traditional craftsmen (mostly unlettered) who made these blocks and meticulously carved prints on them, learn the physics behind block printing? Btw, a new block is soaked in mustard oil for a month before using it for printing!
I visited a block printing workshop in Ahmedabad today evening and met Sajid bhai who runs Fakira Fab @fakira_fab16 . His workshop has 10,000 blocks and all catalogued digitally. Many blocks are almost 100 years old and still in use. Listen in to know more.
Sajid bhai belongs to the traditional Chippa community, which is one of India’s most culturally rich artisan groups, known for its mastery in hand block printing.

We’re on a little break from FABRIC FRIDAY - Molly is in Scotland. Instead, we thought we’d share a few moments from recent workshop days at her studio - Ford Manor, a space full of colour, pattern and lots of making.
“Me and my daughter had such an amazing experience. The day exceeded our expectations.” – Valerie
These days are always such a joy and we’re so grateful for your kind words. Two new workshop dates have now been added for June and we still have a few spots left at Ham Court in Oxford. We’d love for you to join us!

Every once in a while, I come across a brand that truly mesmerises me, not just through design, but through the feeling it leaves behind. Aruvi Homes @aruvihomes felt exactly like that. A brand that embraces craftsmanship and slowness as part of its journey, rather than rushing to cater to everyone and everything at once.
I’ve always been deeply drawn to block printed fabrics, to the beauty of handmade details and the quiet imperfections that make them feel alive. Every print, every texture, and every visual felt incredibly thoughtful and intentional. There’s a softness and honesty to the designs that instantly made me pause and look closer.
Nothing feels loud, yet everything leaves an impression. The handcrafted prints, the understated palette, and the poetic visuals come together beautifully, creating a world that feels calm, timeless, and deeply personal.
