Tasnim Siddiqua will teach the techniques of block printing on fabric, a tradition
common throughout India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Learn how the traditional, hand-carved wood blocks create intricate, and interlocking designs are used to make repeating patterns on cotton.
Tasnim was born in Bangladesh and came to live in Winnipeg a year ago with her husband and children. Her family runs a block printing business in Dhaka, which provides custom made textiles, often for women who are planning a wedding.
