This course will enable you to explore the world of hand block printing and pattern making with natural dyes. Over the course of the two days you will learn how design & cut your own blocks, mordant your fabrics, make print pastes with natural dyes and print & finish your own fabric. You will take away your own sample book of fabrics as well as the ability and confidence to continue to develop your own patterns and transfer them successfully onto fabric.
The goal of this workshop is to get you printing your own beautiful fabrics in a way that is kind and gentle to the environment – that is my passion and one that I want to share with you.
The workshop is the product of many years of commercial experience – producing fabrics block printed with natural dyes for clients and also the product of many years of sharing my practice – passing these skills on is such an important of what I do.
All materials are provided as well as a simple veggie lunch. I keep student numbers low – there is only ever 6 students on my workshops and prices are fixed to 2024 prices.
