13.30- 16.00 Saturday 13th January 2024

Workshop Venue- Prior, Cabot’s Circus More details on the venue below

A fun and laid back workshop where you'll be printing wood-block and Linocuts onto fabric and making your design into a drum lampshade. All techniques will be demonstrated - it really is easier than you think and perfect for an afternoon of creativity.

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 have an afternoon printing with a huge range of wooden printing blocks and linocut designs, with all her paint colours to print. Then making the design into a lampshade looks tricky but once you've been shown, it's really straightforward. Trust me!

**Please note there is also a morning workshop run by Lydia- Textile printing to print a tea towel and tote bag which goes really well with this class. Both classes are standalone but if you would also like to book on this course there is a reduced rate for both classes. The combined class would also be ideal for anyone who wants to bring their own fabric to print - for example for another textile or dressmaking project.
