This workshop will cover the basics of block printing and making repeat patterns for designing fabric. Students will design a pattern, carve it out on their block, and finally print their own patterns on tea towels. We will be using lino cutting tools and soft cut print blocks. This course will also cover comparison of different fabrics suitable for block printing by hand. Students will print their own patterned tea towels with special fabric inks that are permanent and washable after drying. A material fee of $10 will be added to the tuition. Students Ages 14 and over.

  • Tuition will be credited for the Registration fee for all Members!
