The process of block printing is calming and meditative, and at the same time there’s something really satisfying and exciting about gradually seeing a pattern grow on your fabric.
There will be 2 parts to this workshop. First we will use hand-carved wooden blocks from India, to explore the ways in which pattern repeats can work. You will learn how to get the inking and the pressure right and then create your own combinations of colour and motifs. These will be printed onto a sheet of paper for gift wrap or other projects such as collage or bookbinding. In the second part of the workshop you will design your own motif, which you will carve into soft lino. You will then use your lino block to print your pattern onto a tote bag or a tea towel, which could also be used as fabric for future craft projects.
All materials and tools are included in the cost of this workshop. If you would like to bring additional items to upcycle and print onto, you are welcome to do so, however keep in mind that the inks we use are only suitable for natural fibres like cotton and linen. Items must be heat set at home with an iron, before washing (instructions will be provided). It may be helpful to bring ideas or inspiration for your lino designs!
