Description

Design, block print and make your own lampshade!

Join us for a full day workshop where you will be getting your hands stuck in to designing and printing your very own unique lampshade. During the session you will learn the basics of block printing onto fabric from composition, carving and printing techniques.

You will then go onto to make your own lampshade out of your hand printed fabric, creating a unique handmade piece for your home.

Your tutor: Aidan Liggins

Aidan is a printer and maker of patterns and beautiful fabrics with a goal to create fabrics and pieces for the home which last and are loved for a whole lifetime. She believes that the creative process and things we have in our home should be kind to the planet and celebrate slow creation and consumption of products to instill quality and foster traditions.

All fabric she uses is 100% organic linen and hemp she prints with water based inks and dyes using natural dyes from her local environment. This is integral to her practise and is something she is continually looking at in her printing processes, how she can reduce or re-use waste created through to reducing packaging and using re-used or recycled wherever possible.

Aidan prints from her home in beautiful Yorkshire and is a member of the Heritage Craft Association to celebrate heritage crafts throughout the UK.

Experience level

The course is suitable for complete beginners or for anyone with a little knowledge wishing to learn more.
