Jaipur is one of the most beautiful states of India due to the ancient history and art heritage; there are people, patterns and embroidery everywhere! You will be will be staying in the city of Jaipur which is the capital of the block printing India. Using Jaipur as our base, we will be taking days trips out to other areas for our block printing adventures – in particular, the dabu block printing workshop where you will block print your own fabric with mud, being taught by ladies in a village about an hour from Jaipur. Also in a town called Bagru, we will spend a morning block printing in a more “basic” factory i.e. with a more rural flavour. We often squeeze in more activities than expected which pop up spontaneously; have your own clothes made by a local tailor, shop in the local markets but also in the best shops in town, such as Fab India and Anouki. Let us know if there is anything in particular you are looking for, in the fabric world, so we can take you there. You will love Babu Bazaar for embellishments as well as the factories where you can buy fabric direct from the printers. This holiday includes return flights, London Heathrow overnight to Jaipur. 8 nights hotel accommodation including breakfast and evening meal. Private coach throughout the tour. Prices from £2045 For more information, detailed itinery, pictures, videos and booking visit the Colouricious website here. |
