Fabric Art & Surface Design is a technique based workshop which introduces you to the many types of wonderful print media and surface design.

Printmaking is a vast area of art, and can be as simple as a monoprint created from a Gelli plate; hand carving out a design from a printing block; or as complex as a multi-colored silk screen print.

Our weekly workshop runs for two hours, and each week we work on one or two techniques, or finish one and prep another. You are encouraged to work at your own pace, and can finish your editions depending on your individual projects.

The beauty of printmaking is that you create your block or stencil once, and repeat print it multiple times! The course is structured for all levels and you can join in at any stage, regardless of ability or interest, and build upon your knowledge. Skills taught here cover the fundamentals of surface design, and they are intended to be built upon as you develop your printmaking knowledge.

Printmaking is a technique based art form, therefore techniques need to be followed in order to get the best results. Your carved blocks are yours to keep and can be printed onto paper and fabric, used in mixed media, but your blocks can be printed on to almost anything!
