Video description
Hi Guys sorry it has been so long since we have put up a video we have had massive computer issues and editing problems. However we hope they are all fixed now due to our new Christmas presents.
We are starting a new set of videos based on block printing as I am taking a trip to India in October with colouricious holidays.
This hands on creative holiday will take your around the fabric rich town of Jaipur where you witness a range of authentic crafts and textile techniques, but the main attraction is taking part in Block Printing workshops. Block printing is a fabulous method of textile printing. You will be taught by authentic block printers to the region and design your own fabrics with a huge selection of hand carved wooden printing blocks to choose from. Travelling in your private coach with the Colouricious Holidays tour group of textile lovers, you will see the incredible sites and stunning palaces and meet the local people teaching their ancient textile secrets.
This video is about what to use and how get a sucessful print using the amazing blocks from colouricious. I know sometimes getting a good print means using the right materials and here we discuss how to apply the paint and how to press to get a successful print.
Supplies
A selection of fabrics.

Loved that stamp Kathy. Yes I can see how the sponge block is better than the brush.

How do you clean the block when you have finished?

[@kathleenlaurelsagetextiles4432]

Either I wash them in warm water and dab dry with kitchen towel or I use baby wipes. You will always have some staining from the paint. I hope this helps.
