Molly will take you on an adventure to the bustling print studios in India, a country with rich printmaking heritage and a source of inspiration for her work. With your feet firmly back on home soil, she will share her love of nature and how to discover your own colour palette. With an appreciation for the past but a flair for originality, Molly will equip you with practical advice and the confidence to produce prints on a variety of materials including paper and fabric.

Molly Mahon set up her eponymous company in 2015. Molly designs and creates beautiful and original fabrics, wallpapers and functional art pieces for the home. Her designs are inspired by her surroundings, both at home in Sussex and on her travels in India where she works with artisan craftspeople. With her love of home always in her mind she creates pieces to enhance interiors and create beautiful, joyful spaces. Molly runs regular sell-out workshops around the country and has a growing social media following.

A modern, stylish and practical exploration of the traditional craft of block printing.

For self-taught textile designer Molly Mahon, there is something special about block printing that has stood the test of time. From the initial design process, through to the carving of the block, the mixing of the colour and the actual printing process, Molly has always found printing to be meditative.

This book enables readers to explore this ancient craft through Molly’s contemporary designs and the influences that inspire her use of pattern and colour, before teaching them practical skills and potential ways to transform their creations into beautiful homeware.
