Inky Art Morning: Textile Printing

The 3 hour Inky Art Morning – Textile Printing will provide you with a creative playground of stamps to print patterns galore! Let your mind off the hook and get lost in some therapeutic mark-making.
You will print an abundance of sample designs on calico. Then you will decorate your pieces of Linen to take home. This is an ideal workshop for those crafty souls, that will sew their printed fabric into a couple of cushion covers.

Mark-making allows us to express a unique and personal style through gestures that have a physical connection to us. The process of mark-making helps to celebrate surprises and respect the unexpected. ItÂ’s also a way to welcome serendipity and mindfulness.
We will begin by exploring different ways of producing marks, using non-traditional tools, which might include random bits of rubbish and lifeÂ’s detritus and debris such as string, offcuts of cardboard, nails, packaging etc

Once we have our collections of mark-making, the next stage is for a little more reflection and observation. Taking notice, paying attention to what speaks to you. What do I like? What is working? What interests me here? What does this remind me of? What am I drawn to? Is there a seed of something here? What happens if I do this? etc

And then the next stage is moving from inquiry to application. How might I use this for a textile print? How might I develop it into a textile design?

We will then cover some simple but effective stencil design and masking techniques. Finishing by creating your final printed piece onto linen. Big enough to make a single 45cm square cushion.
