Join printmaker Molly Mahon for a one-day workshop to experience the joy of block printing. You will design and print your own cushion cover to take home and cherish.
Using Molly’s carved wooden blocks and palette of eco-friendly paints, you will experiment with colour and pattern. You will design and print your own 40 x30cm cushion cover.
This workshop includes a delicious lunch in the Ox Barn.
For those of you who wish to, there is the option after lunch to embellish your cushions with Molly’s fabulous array of cotton threads. Adding some simple French knots or back stitch, perhaps a little monogramming over the top of your designs can add depth, texture and an even more personalised touch.
All required materials are included and the workshop is suitable for all levels with no experience necessary.
You will be working with fabric paint - aprons are provided for use on the day, but we advise not to wear your finery!
