Come and join us on Thursday 8th October at 1:30pm for lovely block printing workshop with Clodagh from local CG Blockprinting.
Spend a creative afternoon immersed in the art of traditional hand block printing as you design your own fabric and transform it into a beautiful lantern to take home. Using a collection of hand-carved Indian wooden printing blocks, you will explore pattern, colour and composition, learning how to create a design that is uniquely yours. Once your fabric is printed and dried, you will be guided step by step through the process of making your lantern. During the workshop you will:
-Learn the fundamentals of hand block printing.
-Experiment with colour and pattern placement. -Print your own fabric using traditional wooden printing blocks.
-Construct a lantern using your bespoke fabric.
-Leave with a unique handmade lantern ready to display in your home or garden.
No previous experience is needed, just a willingness to experiment and enjoy the process. All materials, fabrics, printing equipment and making supplies are provided, along with refreshments.
£45.00 per person
This is a 2.5 hour workshop and there will be ample time to really explore the techniques and of course break for coffee and some delicious cake included.
