Description
Enjoy a day with Louisa Loakes who will introduce you to the world of block printing.
First you will begin by looking at examples of Indian block printed fabrics from her own personal collection and explore artists and designers who have helped to influence Louisa’s practice and technique.
Together you will go through each stage of the block printing process. You will have the chance to carve your own linoleum block design, which you will use to explore and develop your own pattern repeat. You will have a chance to twist and turn the block to play with your repeat before finally printing. This workshop provides a creative approach to pattern.
You will come away from this session with knowledge of the fabrics and inks involved in the block printing process and a length of your very own hand block printed design onto a natural linen fabric.
All materials included.
Suitable for beginners, everyone welcome.
