Join Suffolk maker Lydia Finney for a relaxed, hands-on session where you’ll hand block print and create a beautiful, functional piece of art for your own home.
Using wooden printing blocks and linocuts, you’ll design your own pattern on cotton or linen fabric and then craft it into a 30cm drum lampshade. You’ll have time to test out ideas on scrap fabric, and all techniques will be clearly demonstrated — no experience needed!
A drink and treat will be included with your ticket. (Please inform us of any dietary requirements by emailing in**@*********************co.uk)
Sunday 6th September
14.00 – 17.00
Location: Thrive Lifestyle Store, 34 Orwell Road, Felixstowe, IP11 7DB
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.
If I cancel the workshop you would be fully refunded.
Please note that when the workshop is being hosted by the venue (ie you book with them and not with me) they will have their own cancellation policies.
