Post new topic

Violette59

I'm looking for a 6 weeks internship in may, to learn traditional techniques such as dyeing, block printing, weaving. I'm a first year student in fashion and textile. If you have anny contact or adresses, it would really help me! Thank's

where are you interested to come to? any city you have decided upon? textiles are rich in west bengal.

Violette59

I haven't decided yet, but if I can, I would like to do 2 or 3 different places  because every area is interesting. But if I can do a lot of things in just one place, it's okay too! The more difficult is to find an entreprise that could sign the "Work Experience Agreement" papers.
Thank's for your answer!

I know of some places in Rajasthan where artisians are using such techniques - and not many times it there a registered big company.

Send me information on what you are looking for in your 6 weeks internship.

May be you have to help me understand what you refer to - "Work Experience Agreement" papers"

Hi,

Choose cities from two states, Gujarat and Rajasthan. Both states are good for textiles and esp. Gujarat is famous for this. Go for Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, these cities have many textile industries..

Gud Luck!

Hello, I know this is an old post but I after graduating from a textiles degree I am currently looking to gain work experience in India to learn about block printing and vegetable dyes.

Which internship did you end up going for? It would be much appreciated if you could let me know of any companies you know about!

Many thanks :)

There are several small units in Sanganer-Jaipur in the State of Rajasthan famous for their block printing and vegetable dyes. You may contact them by searching on Google.

Thank you for your help, I have heard Jaipur is famous for its wood blocking, and also a beautiful part of India to visit! :)

Hi! HollyWatts

Apart from the places mentioned here you can visit the Place called   Pilkhuwa. It is at the outskirt of Delhi ,falls in Hapur district of Uttar Pradesh. This place is famous for its textile products. From wooden block making to fabric printing at one small place. People are very friendly here. You will enjoy the intricate learning of the process. Don't forget to bring used wooden printing blocks as a souvenir.I too brought many at my each visit and used few as my drawer knobs and made Window Box with few intricate ones. Hope this information will help you too. Thanks
