Spend a day learning how to make beautiful screen prints onto fabric using stencils you have designed yourself. You will learn how to handle screen-printing equipment, create stencils and designs as well as mix colours to create bold shapes, interesting overlaps and fine lines.

Bring along your own images or photos for inspiration, or use the suggestions that your tutor will provide to help you create your own designs. You will practice printing onto paper first before moving onto pieces of calico, or, if you are feeling confident, onto tote bags ready for you to carry home.

This workshop is suitable for both beginners and improvers.

A light lunch, refreshments and all print materials are included in your course fee.

Tote bags are available for an extra £5 payable on the day.

Making temari balls is a Japanese craft that originated in China and came to Japan around the 7th century A.D. Traditionally, temari were given as gifts symbolizing deep friendship and loyalty and over the years they evolved from a fairly basic form into exquisite works of art.
This workshop will introduce you to the craft of the temari using basic herringbone stitch to create the traditional chrysanthemum design, or one of the more modern geometric designs.

These would make lovely festive decorations or gifts.

Learn the basic techniques of making a simple temari ball which you may finish during the workshop or which will be advanced enough for you to finish at home.

This course is suitable for beginners and improvers.
