Print your own Tote Bag! 19 Sept
Description
Carve your own stamp and print your design onto a tote bag, tea towel or tee!
In this class, you will develop your own unique design, carve it into lino to create your own re-usable stamp and be shown how to stamp it onto a tote bag, tea towel or 100% cotton t-shirt using fabric paint.
Your teacher, Carley, will guide you through the design process, helping to ensure your design is right for the chosen medium.
You will be taught lino carving techniques to ensure you are carving with the right depth and precision to create your own re-usable lino stamp.
The fabric printing process can be quite temperamental, so Carley has designed this class to be as informative as possible. You will learn how to ink up properly and which inks and paints to use to create your best results on fabric.

FAQs
- What if I can't draw?
Don't worry, most people tell me this and they bounce out the door at the end of the class, stoked with what they've created! Together, we will workshop your design to ensure it is suitable to the lino medium. You can - as a last resort - always trace your design. I do like people to at least have a go at drawing their design first, you might be pleasantly surprised!
- Do you have other classes?
Sure do - you can check out my beginner-friendly "Let's Lino" class. This is suitable to intermediate printmakers and even you advanced printmakers might learn some new tips and tricks from a fellow creative. You can also check out my collage & mixed media workshops for something different. Classes have a focus on education and empowerment.
