Create your own lino pattern printing motif in this 3hr workshop with artist Karené from Pattern & Print at Creative Bloc.
Join Karené and learn about printing pattern onto textiles with lino. At this workshop you will draw a simple motif, which you will transfer and carefully carve into lino. Karené will assist you in finding the best way to create a balance of positive and negative shapes.
You will then use these lino blocks to print your own repeat pattern onto a tote bag!
This is a great workshop to do if you have been to the Indian block printing workshop (which gives a feel for printing pattern onto textiles), but it is not a pre-requisite, and no previous experience is necessary.
If you have some design inspiration in mind, bring it along or let inspiration find you at the workshop. Often the simplest designs are the most effective!
All materials are included in the cost of this workshop and lino carving tools will be available to use. Items must be heat set at home with an iron, before washing (instructions will be provided).
