Design and Print your Own Fabric!
Come along and learn how to block print with Little Rowan Redhead! Block printing is a lovely way of creating one-of-a-kind fabrics. In this class you will design and carve your own stamps which you will then use to print some fabric.
Along the way, Rowan will share with you her materials, techniques and tips. Rowan will also bring along a whole lot of her stamps as inspiration and to use.
No prior printmaking experience is necessary and all materials will be provided. Students will take home any stamps they carve as well as a printed tote bag or tea towel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can kids do the workshop?
Kids 12 and over are welcome to buy a ticket as long as they are accompanied by a paying adult.
Do you need to be able to do draw to do the workshop?
Nope! Drawing skills are a bonus but not a necessity.
Is there parking near the venue? What about public transport?
The venue is just across the road from the West Ryde train station and there is plenty of parking near the station.
Do I need to bring anything to class?
Everything that you need will be provided. If you would like to bring along some design ideas (printouts, Pinterest board etc) then you will get a head start on the design process. Leave your inner perfectionist at home though - she is not required!
What do I get at the end of the class?
You will go home with your finished blocks, prints and a new set of skills!
