Saturday 30 August - Block Printing for Paper and Textiles

Block printing on paper with Kyla 10am-1 pm

Block printing on fabric with Kate 1.30-3pm

Maximum of 6 students

Make versatile stamps you can use for printing on paper or fabric.

Welcome to the fun of hand carved stamps! Create your own unique stamps with Kyla and explore options for printing these relief blocks on various paper, cards and tags. Then join Kate from Among the Sparrows who will teach you options for using these hand carved beauties with textiles.

In this 3 hour class you will learn how to transfer your design, what kind of materials you can use, tool selection, how to carve and ways to print. We will look at some mounting options and you can also try out the magenta Woodzilla relief press - which is especially handy if you carve a larger block. You will learn techniques for printing at home.

In the afternoon we will have a shared lunch from 1-1.30 pm (let us know if you have any dietary requirements!) and explore printing on textiles from 1.30-3pm with your blocks from the morning session. Tea towels, tote bags or fabric options will be provided to take home.

You will leave the class with your hand carved stamps, hand printed paper goodies and some handprinted textiles. Participants will also receive a Brown Books notebook to take away.

All tools, paper and fabric supplied. morning tea and lunch provided.
