Print your own tote bag or cushion - an introduction to Indian Block Printing using traditional hand-carved wooden blocks. In this relaxed and fun workshop you will learn how to apply paint, and build simple repeating patterns to create your own tote bag or cushion.
In the workshop you will have a practice on a piece of cotton fabric, getting the hang of the colours, composition and block printing technique. You will then move on to print the finished piece, could be a tote bag or cushion cover - and will leave with a finished item you've created by hand.
All materials provided. Suitable for all artistic abilities.
We will be working with textile paints so please bring an apron or old shirt if you have one. If not, aprons can be provided.
About the host…
As part of her textiles business Hayley & Co, Hayley designs and works with block print fabrics and small block print studios in Jaipur, India to make and bring to life her range of pyjamas, bags and washbags, which is where her obsession with this beautiful craft began.
Her wood block collection has been sourced over many trips to India, where Hayley has undertaken multiple workshop days to learn from the artisans and master printers in Bagru and Jaipur.
Hayley studied art and textiles at college, before moving onto a degree in Fashion Design. Hayley set up her own label, Hayley & Co, back in 2009, which is based at her home studio in Clitheroe, Lancashire. Hayley's passion for colour, print and textiles shines through her range, predominately using block printed cottons.
Come along and try this fun way of printing, in a fun, relaxed, supportive environment with lots of opportunity to play and experiment.
