About this Event
Join us in this creative workshop where you will explore a range of natural pigments and natural binders to screen print onto fabric to make a Furoshiki gift wrap (a reusable wrapping paper). You will create stencils for your own bespoke design and can have a range of colours to layer and create a sustainable design! Our inks are made in-house using seaweed, food waste and plants, come create textiles that don’t harm the environment! No experience in printing or design is required.
Enjoy a hands-on creative experience, with time to explore the Sustainable Festive Market, discover unique gifts from independent brands and soak up the festive atmosphere. You'll leave with your own reusable Furoshiki gift wrap, screen printed by you!
