*THREE PLACES REMAINING*
With Gemma Trickey
A two-day introduction to relief printing repeat patterns, in which you will learn how to use the tools and techniques needed to design, carve and print your own designs. You will be taught the basics of repeat pattern design using geometric and botanical motifs and go on to design a pattern yourself. You will then be taught how to transfer your images to a block and use carving tools to make your designs into a relief block, which we will print using ink and rollers onto paper.
Gemma uses repeat blocks in order to produce designs for her beautiful range of wallpapers. You may like to take a look!
Please feel free to come with any images of pattern design that you find to draw inspiration from but reference books will also be available to look at. No previous experience is necessary, but improvers are very welcome.
£195 (plus materials approximately £5 or £15 to include a brand new set of lino tools to take away with you – please order when booking!)
