Textile Block Printing Workshop

Do you remember when you used to play with colours as a child, mixing paints freely, drawing random shapes, and creating without hesitation? In this printing workshop in Oxford, you will be invited to return to that sense of playful creativity, this time through the art of block printing.You will be introduced to textile block printing using pre-carved lino blocks in a variety of designs, from florals to geometric patterns. This will allow you to explore, experiment, and mix and match designs freely.After the demonstration that happens first, you will begin by testing ideas on paper, getting comfortable with colours, composition, and repetition. Once you feel ready, you will move on to fabric and create your final piece to take home. The print will be permanent and washable once the fabric is ironed.Throughout the session, you will be encouraged to play with what you have, embrace imperfections, and discover how even the simplest block can transform into a beautifully layered pattern. You will receive all materials needed for the session, including pre-carved blocks, colours, tools, and a cotton tote bag to print your final design on and take home. Read more details
