This workshop is perfect for both beginners and those looking to refine or advance their printmaking techniques. We’ll start by experimenting on paper before moving on to fabric, exploring different methods to enhance designs. You’ll learn about plant selection, fabric preparation, and the steaming and cooking processes that bring prints to life. To make the most of our creative time in the studio the preparation of the fabric and paper will be done in advance but notes will be available on scouring and several methods of mordanting so that you will be able to carry out these steps at home. On the day you will have delightful fun experimenting first on paper as we gain an understanding of the process.
