About this Event
An Artist-Led Block Printing Workshop
Join me for a calm, hands-on introduction to traditional Indian woodblock printing, held at Oswestry Memorial Hall.
This is a small group workshop designed to give you time to slow down, explore pattern, and create something truly your own.
You’ll begin by planning your design on paper, exploring simple repeat patterns and understanding composition, spacing, and colour.
You’ll then move on to printing using hand-carved wooden blocks and carefully selected textile paint, practising on cotton fabric before creating your final piece.
During the workshop you will:
• Plan and design your own repeat pattern
• Learn how to use traditional wooden printing blocks
• Practise on fabric to build confidence
• Print and take home an organic cotton tea towel or cushion cover (you will be able to purchase a feather filler on the day, if you wish).
• Create a smaller printed piece on beautiful handmade paper
This session takes gentle inspiration from botanical forms and seasonal patterns, and is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with some creative experience.
All materials are provided.
