Tutor: Lynda Shell
During this workshop you will learn to design and make your own printing block using both cut foam shapes and carving in rubber or lino. You will have the opportunity to print your designs on sample pieces of fabric as you experiment with colour combinations, various pattern repeat techniques and placement options. Once you are happy with your design you will then be able to print your unique pattern on either a tote bag or a cushion cover. All materials are provided. We provide aprons but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.
