The Art of Indian Block Printing

A textile printing workshop with Clare Wood Spend a wonderfully creative few hours exploring the colour, pattern and satisfying process of Indian block printing with designer and maker Clare Wood. In this relaxed, hands-on workshop, Clare will introduce you to the art of printing onto fabric using a beautiful collection of carved printing blocks and textile paints. You'll explore how different blocks, colours and patterns work together before creating your own printed textile piece to take home. Clare will demonstrate the basic techniques and guide you through the process, from applying the paint and positioning your blocks to building repeat patterns and creating a design that feels completely your own. Choose from a selection of textile blanks including: • tote bag • tea towel • zip pouch This is a relaxed workshop suitable for complete beginners — you don't need any previous printing experience, just come along ready to experiment with colour and pattern. All materials and your chosen textile blank are included. Refreshments will be available throughout the workshop.
