  • Description

Have you ever wanted to make your own fabric for Christmas crafts and gifts? Make some hand-printed fabric with your own designs!

There will be two parts to the workshop:

a) Designing and cutting a linocut block, with an introduction to simple repeat patterns; and b) Inking the block and printing on onto a small section of fabric.

You can design your own block! Some examples of printing blocks and fabric designs will be provided, but feel free to bring your own designs as well. The blocks we will be using are 7.5cm x 7.5cm so if you have something in mind, it’s ideal to make it this size.

You will take home your own small linocut printing block and some printed cotton fabric.

We will be using water-based screenprinting ink. Please bring an apron and be sure to wear clothes that won't matter if they get a bit dirty!

This is a rapid introduction to a fascinating topic that can lead you in all sorts of directions - Rosemary will also give details of suppliers and suggestions of what to do and where to go next!
