INDIAN BLOCK PRINTING & LAMPSHADE MAKING

You'll spend the morning learning the fundamentals of block printing and experimenting with technique, pattern and colour on practice fabric. When you are happy with your final design you will print it onto a piece of natural-coloured cotton linen fabric.
In the afternoon Lou will guide you through all the stages of transforming your bespoke fabric into a unique and beautiful lampshade! Don't worry if you've never done anything like this before - I'll be there to break the process down and guide you every step of the way!
