About this tour
Spend four hours at France's sole block-printing atelier, where you'll design and produce your own hand-printed textile or decorative piece. Drawing on 15+ years of craft mastery, the workshop bridges Provençal and Indian printing traditions. You'll create something tangible to take home—no experience needed, just your imagination. Transport is included from La Couronne station.

What to expect
You'll arrive at a working studio where the instructor walks you through the full process: designing your pattern, carving or selecting a block, mixing natural dyes, and printing onto fabric or paper. Expect hands-on mess—ink stains are part of the charm. The four hours move quickly; you'll produce one finished item. The pace is relaxed, geared to your speed rather than rushing through steps. By the end you'll have a printed piece ready to wear or frame, plus a solid grasp of how block printing actually works.
Good to know
Moderate fitness helps (standing, hand work). Wear clothes you don't mind getting dye on. The studio is reachable by public transport if you skip the included pickup. Book ahead—spots fill quickly. Bring an apron or old shirt if you're particular about your clothes.
