NOTTS- Fabric Printing Workshop and Make a Lampshade
NOTTS- Fabric Printing Workshop and Make a Lampshade
2-5pm, Sunday 13th April, Thomas Cranmer Centre, Aslockton, Notts
A departure from the norm - Two Workshops in One Sitting!
Using my large collection of wood and lino blocks and a rainbow of paints everyone will enjoy a fun afternoon of printing to fabric - it’s just a choice then of what you would like to make!
You can choose “Fabric Printing” and print a blank cotton tea towel and calico tote bag. This Workshop takes roughly 2 hours and is priced at £45. .
Or you can print to white linen or natural coloured cotton and turn your print into a 30cm Drum Lampshade. This Workshop takes 3 hours and is priced at £55.
All materials are provided along with tea, coffee and biscuits.
Printing is not just for paper! Printing to fabrics is a fab way of imprinting your unique style on accessories that can adorn your home or take out and about with you. This workshop is a perfect way to give fabric printing a try and have fun at the same time! Everyone will have scrap fabric to practise on, and a blank tea towel and a tote bag to print during the workshop and take home.
The workshop is hosted by Lydia, a fabric printer, maker and dressmaker from Suffolk. Lydia runs her own microbusiness printing and making personal and home accessories inspired by the corner of Coast and Country where she lives. Her prints are adorned with hares and seedheads, as well as Lobsters, Crabs and Mermaids. With her experience and guidance you'll spend the afternoon printing using her huge range of wooden printing blocks and linocut designs, with a rainbow of paint colours to play and experiment with. A great creative way to spend an afternoon and go away with new skills that can take you all sorts of places.

I will bring all materials required for the course (including scrap fabric to print on). If there is anything else you'd like to try printing on, like a t-shirt or other blank fabric, feel free to bring it along to try. Natural fibres in pale colours work best.
