In this hands-on 2-hour workshop, you will learn about the basics of block printing and how to design, carve and print your own block. You will experiment with colours, composition, and layers to design a unique repeat pattern on tote bags and calico. Participants will take home their completed rubber block. It is a perfect technique for anyone interested in working with textiles.

The workshop is kindly supported by the City of Melville.
