One of my favourite experiences in India. Very hands on and had something to take home as a souvenir. Aftab and Mohit were great! Would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for the kind words. We’re really glad you enjoyed the experience — especially the hands-on process and creating something to take home with you. It was a pleasure hosting you.
Booked the class to make placemats with a friend and we loved it! Aftab and Mohit were very knowledgeable! Learning the process of block printing made us truly appreciate just how hard it is to get perfect. Would highly recommend as an activity to bring home a personalised souvenir!
Thank you for spending time with us. We’re so happy you and your friend enjoyed the workshop and got a deeper appreciation for the craft behind block printing. We hope your handmade placemats bring back good memories of Jaipur every time you use them.
We had such a brilliant time at this workshop. Aftab and Kunj were incredible and so patient with us. We ended up staying for 2.5 hours because we were a little slow but everyone was so lovely with us the whole time and we had an amazing experience. Beautiful designs and colours to choose from - and a lovely, calm and experience! Thanks so much everyone.
We’re glad you felt comfortable enough to go at your own pace. It’s great to hear you enjoyed working with the designs and colours, and that the experience felt calm and immersive.
Amazing experience - Mohit runs a fantastic workshop. Kunj and Aftab were wonderfully helpful and supportive. A lovely way to spend an afternoon- we chose complicated designs which took slightly longer to complete, but the pay off was worth it. Would 100% recommend to anyone who wants to do a creative workshop without loads of faff involved!
Thank you for this—it’s great to hear you leaned into the more detailed designs and saw it through. Appreciate the recommendation.
We had such an amazing time at this workshop. Aftab was on hand to help us throughout, showing us how to print accurately. It was great having a practice first too.
Thank you for spending time with us—it’s great to hear you enjoyed the workshop. We’re glad the practice round helped ease things in.
We had a great time making our placemats with Creatis. We were able to choose from lots of different designs and experiment with different colours on a practice version so we could make the best choice! Aftab was a great teacher and was patient when we were finding it difficult.
Thank you for sharing this—it’s great to hear you made the most of the process. Hope those placemats find a good spot at your table.
I took this class because block printing a scarf sounded like fun. I am so glad I took the class. The instructors were very kind and patient. There is a bit of a learning curve, but you can choose how much of a challenge you would like. There are easier block printing motifs, and there are more difficult motifs that have more colors so you build up the print using more colors and more blocks. I have a scarf that I will treasure because it will remind me of my trip to India. I also learned a new craft. I would have liked to buy a kit to take home - they are all beautiful, but I travel with a 20L backpack and just don’t have the room. The workroom is so interesting. Glad I went. A very good value.
Thank you for taking the time to share this—it means a lot. We’re really glad you chose to join the workshop and that you enjoyed the process, even with the learning curve. It’s especially nice to hear your scarf will stay with you as a reminder of your time in India. We’re glad you came by the studio, and we truly appreciate your kind words.
A great workshop and a really fun experience. All the staff were friendly and helpful, explaining the process clearly and offering handy tips.
Thank you for sharing this. We’re glad you had a fun experience and that the process felt clear and easy to follow.

Thank you for this—it’s great to hear you had such a hands-on and enjoyable experience. We’re glad the space felt welcoming and encouraging.
A very nice experience in a nice small-scale studio. I spent over an hour and a half working on a slightly more difficult design. The guidance there very nice and helpful. A mindful pursuit.
Thank you for sharing this so beautifully. We’re glad you enjoyed the slower, more mindful pace of the process—especially while working on a more detailed design. It’s nice to hear the guidance felt supportive along the way.
