About this Event
Transform a humble scrap of fabric into functional art in this satisfying 3-hour workshop! You'll design and carve your own printing block, then use it to create a repeating pattern on a beautiful bandana. This is printmaking you can use every day—or gift to someone who appreciates handmade beauty.
Whether you're drawn to geometric patterns, botanical motifs, or quirky illustrations, you'll create a one-of-a-kind textile that brings artistry to the everyday item. These also make wonderful gifts for the hard-to-shop-for people in your life!
What You'll Learn:
- Design principles for repeating patterns and motifs
- Carving techniques for clean, crisp prints
- Block printing on fabric (different from paper!)
- Pattern registration and spacing strategies
- Heat-setting techniques to make your print permanent and washable
What You'll Make: One custom block-printed cotton bandana (approximately 21" x 21") featuring your original design. Your carved block comes home with you too—use it for future bandanas, tea towels, tote bags, or paper projects!
What's Included: High-quality 100% organic cotton bandana, carving block, carving tools, fabric-safe printing ink, and all instruction. Everything you need to create a finished, washable, usable piece.
Perfect For: Printmakers wanting to work on fabric, gift-makers, anyone wanting functional art, or crafters seeking a satisfying evening project. Wear clothes that can get inky. Bring design ideas or sketches!
Class size limited to 4 participants for personalized attention.
