Block printing on fabric
Carve or choose printing blocks and print your own pattern onto a tote bag or tea towel.
What you do
Block printing is one of the oldest ways to pattern fabric, and one of the most satisfying. The host shows you how to design a simple motif and carve it into a soft lino or rubber block, or choose from ready-made wooden blocks, then how to ink the block evenly and press it onto fabric. You plan a repeat pattern, test it on paper and print a tote bag, a tea towel or a cushion cover. Each print comes out a little different, which is the charm.
What you take home
Your printed tote bag or tea towel, and the block you carved.
Who it suits
