This hands-on course is perfect for students looking to combine the art of printmaking and sewing to create functional textile wares.
Ideal for complete beginners or those wishing to refresh their skills, the course offers a step-by-step approach to two exciting techniques: Lino Block printing on fabric and basic sewing.
Students will begin by exploring Lino Block printing, learning how to design and print unique patterns onto fabric. Following this, they will progress to sewing, where they’ll assemble a simple, practical beach bag, perfect for everyday use.
By the end of the course, students will have crafted their personalised patterned cloth and a beautifully made item to take home. This course provides a solid foundation for individuals interested in textile design, fashion, or those seeking to develop new creative skills.
