This introductory Workshop is suitable for all levels, beginners and experienced printers are welcome.
After a warm welcome and introduction, you will browse through an extensive collection of carved wooden blocks, choose your favourites and select your textile colours. I will then provide a detailed demonstration of the techniques, tools and equipment required for you to begin your creative journey.
In the morning you will test your selected designs and colours on practice fabric, building your confidence as you try different techniques. You will then move on to printing your own fabric items which will include: a drawstring bag, tote bag, and tea towel.
After lunch (not provided, please bring something with you), having gained experience during the morning, you will move on to print either a scarf or cushion cover.
On completion of your fabric projects, you can move on to print a selection of paper and stationery items, such as cards, tags and gift wrap or tissue paper.
