INSPIRED BY INDIA A modern British block printer

Molly Mahon is a British block printer and textile designer who marries the traditional craft of Indian block printing with a modern English aesthetic. When Molly first visited Jaipur to further her education in the craft, she was blown away by the sheer joy of the incredible craftsmanship she found. From that very first moment India became a huge source of inspiration to Mollythe architecture & buildings, the decoration & patterns, and the rich, joyful bold colours. Her life and work is now firmly intertwined with Jaipur.

“I never tire of lifting the block and seeing the impression that has been left, the slight imperfections. There is something special about block printing that has stood the test of time. To me it brings the fabric alive and this is exactly what it does to our homes.” mollymahon.com

With her love of home always in her mind, Molly designs pieces to enhance interiors and create charming, joyful spaces.

Molly runs her business with her husband Rollo, their children & dog Bramble who are all very much involved.

Molly is determined to play a part in keeping the craft of block printing alive and is extremely proud that she is now printing over 4000 metres a month in her studio in Rajasthan. This would be possible in a day, printed digitally on a machine in the UK, but a piece of hand block printed cloth holds a depth like no other.
