Top 5 Jaipur Art Workshops

1.Block Printing Workshop and Hands-on Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 78 reviews · 2 - 3 hours · from $35Our pick

Visit a long-running Jaipur block-printing workshop with an English-speaking guide, often Monty, to see artisans at work and learn how the craft is done. Then choose an available fabric item and block design, and print it with help from the workshop team. Color choices are set in advance, but your pattern is yours to create.

“We got to understand the history of block printing and the process from start to finish before then making our product (I chose to make an apron). Balram was really knowledgeable and super friendly and made the experience very fun. Muna was really helpful with the actual pressing and design. Would definitely love to make another one soon”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 76 reviews · from $25

At Creatis in Jaipur, you’ll learn about Sanganeri block printing, try Gad, Rekh, and Datte blocks, and layer water-based pigments onto fabric. The class is described as small-group, with step-by-step help from Mohit and his team. Expect about two hours of hands-on work, and check what you’ll make: the details mention both two stoles and a scarf or placemats.

“A great way to learn more about Jaipur’s history in block printing and come away with a meaningful souvenir. The team was extremely supportive and encouraging, couldn’t recommend it enough!”

3.From Delhi/Agra: Taj Mahal Tour with Rental Saree Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 47 reviews · 3 - 9 hours

Choose a saree, kurta pyjama, or other Indian outfit at Ganpati Garments & Saree Rental, then visit the Taj Mahal with a private guide. Pickup is available in Delhi, Agra, Noida, and nearby cities. Guides including Nekram and Waseem have led tours, and some help take photos. Confirm ticket costs before booking, since the stated inclusion has caused confusion.

“Decent tour of the Taj Mahal with the saree rental! Anshu is a pleasure to speak with and he gave great insight into the Taj Mahal as well as overall Indian culture. Got to take some professional photos with the saree with a hired photographer. Be sure to negotiate and be clear with the price and everything will be fine! Would do this again!”

4.Shopping Tour with Blue Poetry & Printing Workshop & Rugs

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 42 reviews · from $22Best value

Explore Jaipur’s craft shops with a private guide and an air-conditioned car. The experience is described as including blue pottery, hands-on block printing, and a visit to a rug-weaving center. Shakeer, also spelled Shakir, is the guide named in many accounts of the service. Confirm the pottery stop and timing before booking, as the detailed schedule does not spell it out.

“Great day out with Shakeer, we were taken to amazing stores and shown the process of handmade block printing and carpet making. As 2 young women in a new city we felt incredibly safe and looked after. We also had the opportunity to get a palm reading which was a surprising and incredible addition to the day. Would recommend to everyone”
