Sunday 12th November 2017 - Daylesford Organic Farm, Kingsley

Wednesday 29th October 2017 - Daylesford Organic, Notting Hill, London.

This workshop gives you a chance to play with pattern and learn the essential techniques for block printing onto fabric, guided by the talented Louisa Loakes. 

You will create your own design using simple line forms and shapes. Once this is perfected, you will learn how to cut a linoleum block to transfer your design onto natural linen fabric and create an eye-catching pattern.

At the end of the session, you will have made your very own hand-printed linen cushion cover to take home. 

All course materials will be provided and light refreshments will be available throughout the day. Lunch is not provided, but you may bring your own or visit the Daylesford farmshop.

Workshops

THE NEW CRAFTSMEN

Block-printing with Louisa Loakes

Join textile artist Louisa Loakes for a block-printing workshop. Choosing from a selection of blocks, participants will use charcoal to experiment with mark making – rubbing and cutting onto paper to find their very own unique abstract composition before cutting onto their own block. During the workshop enjoy experimenting with the carved block, twisting and turning until you reach a design you are happy with. In this workshop participants will learn how to cut a linoleum block, transfer it onto natural linen and to create a simple pattern repeat for your own printed linen cushion cover.

 

Date: 8th June 2017    

Venue:  34 North Row Mayfair, London W1K 6DG   

Time:     2pm – 4pm

Cost: £50 + booking fee
