Come along and learn the exciting art of Block Printing. I must admit, I have become addicted to creating
designs on all sorts of fabric, from baby grows to cushions and Tea towels to lamp shades and Scarves.
On this small workshop you will be given a demonstration on how to use an assortment of printing blocks on both fabric and paper, then after a few practice runs on spare fabric, getting to understand how to use the blocks to create fabulous designs, you can then design and print a Tea Towel. In the afternoon you have the chance to print either a cushion cover or a Tote Bag . A selection of cards and wrapping paper are also available for printing if you have time.
If you have any small items or additional tissue paper you would like to print, please bring it along.
