In this small group workshop we will be exploring fabric printing using a range of techniques including lino blocks and stenciling.

During the workshop you will print your own tote bag or napkins - working through your design and placement of the blocks to create your own personal item.

It will be fun! And at the end you will have a unique item to keep or give away.

This course is suitable for anyone over 16 years of age who wants to get a bit inky!

This workshop is a great opportunity to enjoy handmade processes and have fun learning how to continue these traditional crafts. Other workshops are scheduled in felting, shibori and boro stitching.

No experience needed.

2.5 hour face to face workshop

All materials and tools including fabric, ink, lino blocks, stencils, brushes, rollers.

Wear old clothes and covered shoes.
