Festive Indian Block Printing

Service Description

Fancy a little creative time in the run-up to Christmas? Come and join me for a friendly and relaxed festive printing workshop, using my extensive collection of authentic hand-carved Indian printing blocks. Starting with a coffee or tea, you'll have time to explore the beautiful range of blocks and browse examples of printed pieces. After a demonstration, with plenty of tips and tricks shared along the way, you'll have the chance to practise before choosing your favourite designs and colours. By this point, we usually need cake! Then it's time to create your own festive masterpiece. Choose from Christmas napkins, stockings, drawstring gift bags, tea towels or table runners. Whether you prefer traditional Christmas motifs or more contemporary seasonal designs, you'll create something completely unique to gift, use at home, or bring out year after year as part of your Christmas celebrations. With as much guidance as you need, you'll learn how to plan your design, print your chosen item and achieve beautiful results. No experience of printing is needed - just come along, relax and enjoy a few hours of festive creativity. My workshops are informal, sociable and always include plenty of chatting, coffee and homemade cake. Whether you're coming on your own, with a friend, or treating a family member, you'll be warmly welcomed. Once your finished piece is dry, it can be heat-set and taken home ready to use. We aim for enjoyment, not perfection, and for everyone to leave with something that makes them smile.. Workshops last approx 2.5hrs and cost £45 including all materials, tuition and refreshments and a choice of items to print and take home. Friday 4th December 10am - 12.30pm at Brook Arts Hub, Shottery, Stratford upon Avon Booking available here - https://www.vonscraftery.co.uk/
