About the event
An Artist-Led Block Printing Workshop
Join Amelia for a calm, festive traditional Indian woodblock printing workhsop, held at English Bridge Studios in Shrewsbury.
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: 1 x small Lantern (including LED tea light inside), 4 x handprinted cards with envelopes, 4 x present tags and 2 x sheets of tissue paper.
This session takes gentle inspiration from Christmas, botanical forms and seasonal patterns, and is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with some creative experience.
All materials are provided.
