Bring your own drinks (alcoholic or otherwise) for this fun evening workshop! A great way to celebrate an event or just be with your group of friends.
Whether you've done crafting before or are complete beginners, chat and sip whilst making a range of colourful printed paper and fabric items to take home. We can also add your own background music too.
Your expert tutor Joanna will guide you through the entire creative process, from understanding pattern design to mastering printing techniques. You'll gain confidence as you learn how different colours work together and how to make the most of your printing space.
During the session, you'll have access to an extensive collection of over 100 traditional wood blocks featuring botanical, animal, and geometric motifs. All are hand-carved in India, some are contemporary designs and others have been salvaged from the Indian textile industry.
Your tutor will provide individual guidance as you develop your ideas, ensuring you feel confident before moving on.
By the end of the session, you'll have developed practical paper and textile printing skills and created beautiful handmade items—perfect either as a thoughtful gift or a treasured addition to your own home.
