Step into a relaxed and welcoming creative workshop where pattern, print, and light come together. In a small group at Fiona’s Fabrics in Woodbridge, you’ll explore the beautiful art of block printing with a carefully curated selection of wood-blocks and linocut blocks to use during the class. You can test your print on scrap fabric before printing your chosen designs onto cotton or linen fabric before transforming your finished piece into a 30cm drum lampshade to take home.
All techniques are demonstrated step by step, and you’ll have plenty of time to experiment on test fabric before committing to your final design. While lampshade making may sound complex, you’ll be surprised at how approachable and satisfying the process is—making this workshop perfect for an inspiring afternoon of hands-on creativity.

Access information
Gobbitt’s Yard is step-free from nearby car parks, and the shop is all on one level. The creative space is small, but accommodations can be made where possible. There is a non-disabled toilet on site. If you have any access needs or would like to discuss accommodations, please get in touch—we’ll do our best to support you.
There are 2 Basic Types of Workshop run by Lovely Lydia:
If you can hold a print block, you can do this workshop- no other pre-requisites!
This workshop involves using sharp tools to cut your lino so it does require a bit of hand dexterity. You don’t need to be able to draw.
My workshops are open to all abilities and age groups. Workshops are generally aimed at adults but kids can come to – I also also “Family Editions” which are aimed at adults and kids together. For Linocut Workshops I generally suggest it’s suitable for kids over 8.
All the materials you will need for the workshops will be provided including:
Lydia will also bring along some examples of block printing to demonstrate and provide inspiration!
If you would like to bring some of your own fabric or ready made clothing to print during class please do. Lydia may request a small extra charge for paint if the item to be printed is very large and requires a lot of fabric paint for your project.
For each workshop venue detailed accessibility information will be provided in the event details.
It is always my aim to provide at least the following for my workshops:
If you have any access needs or considerations I will always do my best to accommodate you – please feel free to get in touch and discuss these with me.
Workshops are a super way for a group of people to get together! And you really don’t need a lot of space to run them (and I can advise on that!).
Please do get in touch if you would like to book me for a work team event, a birthday party, a Hen or Stag Do, or an event!
As Venues and Materials need to be paid/ purchased ahead of the course going ahead, a full refund is available if you cancel up to 72 hours before the workshop. Thereafter it would be a 50% refund.
