Block printing on Fabric

If you have ever considered designing and creating something to use in your home or thought about making personalised gifts for your family and friends, this is the workshop for you.

Simply bring along your design ideas for images, patterns and shapes and learn how to translate these into a design, before cutting a stamp using Essdee Master Cut and printing your design.

We will initially create paper and card based products, such as gift tags and gift wrap, before printing onto tea towels, tote bags or cushions.

The workshop is delivered by Alison Butler 
 Alison has over 25 years experience as a textile designer and book illustrator 

 This workshop is suitable for people with a range of creative experiences, wishing to explore printing stamps onto paper and fabric, for a maximum of 10 people. 

 Please bring along: an apron, A5/6 ideas/drawings/images that inspire you and a large newspaper in which to transport your work home.

 Two tea towels or a tote bag will be provided - please state your preference at the time of booking. Further items may also be ordered/purchased at the time of booking: tea towels and small tote bags - .

If you have any  fabric samples in cotton or linen you may wish to bring these along to experiment further, the possibilities are endless... you can create anything from a small lavender bag to some new cushions for your sofa! Just wash and iron everything in advance.

The workshop will run from 10 - 4pm, including tuition, materials and use of equipment; refreshments will be served throughout the day - just bring your lunch.
