Join Suffolk maker Lovely Lydia for an afternoon of festive creativity, discover the art of fabric printing. You will have the option to print a set of napkins, a tea towel or a tote bag, ready to dress up your Christmas table or gift to someone special.
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, a tea towel or a tote bag 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.
