During this morning workshop you will be inspired to select from Sarah’s (of Sarita Prints Joy) extensive collection of hand-carved Indian woodblocks to design and print your own square cushion cover. Sarah will demonstrate how to print effectively using woodblock stamps and give inspiration and ideas for your pattern and print layout and use of colour, before you practice your design on a paper template. There will then be ample time for you to handprint your unique pattern onto a 50x50cm cream cushion cover to take home and enjoy.
Price £55 per person (feather cushion insert can be purchased at the workshop if you request this at time of booking for approx cost of £8-10.)
