Join Suffolk maker Lovely Lydia for an afternoon of festive creativity! Discover the art of fabric printing and get ready to have the best festive table in town! 

Open to all abilities, all materials will be provided. 

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, then 4 blank cotton hemmed napkins to print during the workshop and take home.

The workshop is hosted by Lydia, a fabric printer, maker and dressmaker from Orford. 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.

The workshop includes 4 napkins to print, extra napkins will be available to purchase on the day if time allows and you wish to print some extra. 

A festive tipple and treat will be included with your ticket. (Please inform us of any dietary requirements by emailing info@thrivelifestylestore.co.uk)
