This is the perfect and fun way to try out printing to textiles - a workshop aimed at exploring and playing, with a tea towel and tote you've printed yourself to take home.

Lydia, 'Lovely Lydia, is a fabric printer, maker, dressmaker from the Suffolk Coast and runs her own microbusiness printing and making personal and home accessories. With her experience and guidance you'll spend the afternoon printing with a huge range of wooden printing blocks and linocut designs, with a rainbow of paint colours to experiment with. A great workshop to enjoy with a friend as an afternoon out this Spring.

Tea and coffee will be provided throughout the workshop and all attendees will receive a 25% discount on lunch, dinner or Afternoon Tea in Parker's Tavern.(Bookings will need to be made by contacting the restaurant directly on 01223 606266, hello@parkerstavern.com or visiting www.parkerstavern.com)

An opportunity to bring children to experience this fun and colourful craft! Children ages 8 and above are invited to come along with an adult to explore printing for textiles together.

This is a lovely introduction to both lino cutting, a printmaking process, and creating your own textiles! lydia will also bring her gorgeous selection of wood and linocuts to print with.

On this course Lydia will talk through the basic techniques, how the materials work and what you need (including where to get it) to complete the course and carry on linocutting and printing fabric at home. Her mission is to get you printing!

The method is very straight-forward, accessible for all abilities and easy to do at home… as printing goes, it’s pretty un-messy too! You will have the opportunity to explore your own designs and mix your own colours as well as using Lydia’s own blocks. If you have your own woodcut blocks you are welcome to bring these too, just make sure they are clearly labelled or you have a photograph of yours so they don’t get muddled.

Everyone will get 1 napkin and 1 small tote bag to print on.
