Block Printing Workshop
at Patch Halifax
March 2, 2019
I’m returning to Patch this Spring for another great block printing workshop! I will guide you through the process of creating your own unique design and block printing your very own set of tea towels. We will talk about elements of design, repetition and proper techniques for cutting your design in the linoleum block and then stamping it from block to fabric using fabric pigment. You may even get some stories from my recent block printing pilgrimage to India in between it all!
Class includes: 6 hours instruction sessions and complete supply kit, including paints and blocks. Fabric extra. Additional pigment dye will be available for purchase for future projects
Blockprinting Workshop
at Lunenburg Makery
April 27, 2019
Learn to print your own fabric! In this full day workshop I will guide you through the process of create a two colour design to block print onto fabric. You will design and print your own blocks to make a set of tea towels. During the first part of this morning we will talk about elements of design like visual rhythm, scale and movement before letting your creativity go. Tips on how to cut the link block and best practices for printing will also be discussed. You will leave this class with two finished tea towels as well as a block printing kit including your carved lino block and carving tool.
