Block Printing Napkin Workshop with Sarah of Sarita Prints Joy

Wednesday 2nd July 2025 | 10:00am - 1:00pm

Block Printing Napkin Workshop with Sarah of Sarita Prints Joy
Hosted by Printmaker Sarah of ‘Sarita Prints Joy’ you will be inspired to hand print your own set of 4 cotton napkins, selecting from an extensive collection of hand carved Indian woodblocks. Sarah will demonstrate how to print effectively using the blocks and give tips for pattern, colour palette and layout before you practice your design on a square paper template. There will be ample time for you to print each napkin and take them home at the end of the workshop ready for some summer alfresco dinning! You are free to explore the beautiful gardens after the workshop finishes.

Bio info for Sarita Prints Joy

Sarah is printing enthusiast who is passionate about sharing her love of woodblock printing through workshops. Her extensive collection of woodblock stamps are all hand carved in India in various designs and patterns. Whether using them to print onto fabric or paper, woodblock printing is a joyful and immersive craft that lends its self to creating beautiful patterns and designs that translate well across a range of items from a cushion for a chair, set of napkins, a table runner or a stylish drum lampshade.  Sarah is drawn to an uplifting and vibrant palette of colours when printing and likes to encourage participants in her workshops to reflect on the colours that spark joy in them and use them when printing their own cushion or set of napkins to take home.
