Cut your design on a linocut block and print on a tote bag at Vintage Looks Paint A Bag in Worthing.
All materials and equipment supplied.
This workshop will be an introduction to fabric printing: block cutting, making simple repeat patterns if needed, inking the block and printing on to a practice piece of fabric. You will then use your own block to print on to a tote bag.
You can design your own block! I will of course have some examples of printing blocks and fabric designs but if you have anything particular in mind for your design please bring it along. The blocks we will be using are 7.5cm x 7.5cm so if you have something in mind it’s ideal to make it this size.
You will take home your own small linocut printing block and some printed cotton fabric.
We will be using water-based screenprinting ink. Please bring an apron and be sure to wear clothes that won’t matter if they get a bit dirty!
This is a very quick introduction to a fascinating topic which can lead you in all sorts of directions – I will also give details of my suppliers and suggestions of what to do and where to go next!
