LEEDS: Beasts, Bugs & Birds FAMILY EDITION Linocut for Textiles

  • Sunny Bank Mills Gallery Farsley Leeds (map)

An opportunity to bring children to experience this fun and colourful craft! Children ages 8 and above are invited to come along with an adult to explore printing for textiles together.

This is a lovely introduction to both lino cutting, a printmaking process, and creating your own textiles! Lydia will also bring her gorgeous selection of wood and linocuts to print with.

On this course Lydia will talk through the basic techniques, how the materials work and what you need (including where to get it) to complete the course and carry on linocutting and printing fabric at home. Her mission is to get you printing!

The method is very straight-forward, accessible for all abilities and easy to do at home… as printing goes, it’s pretty un-messy too! You will have the opportunity to explore your own designs and mix your own colours as well as using Lydia’s own blocks.

Everyone will get either 1 napkin and 1 small tote bag or 1 large tea towel or tote to print on to take home.

*There is an additional option to buy a Take Home Linocut Kit which includes 5 linocut tools, 2 pieces of Softcut Lino, an Inking tray, 3 paint sponges and 50ml of fabric paint of your choice from Lydia’s collection*
