Description
Discover the timeless art of wood block printing, a centuries-old textile tradition practiced around the world. In this inspiring hands-on workshop, Dyann B. shares techniques and creative inspiration gathered during her travels, where she explored the rich heritage of fabric arts and traditional printing methods.
Students will learn how to use beautifully carved wood blocks and textile inks to create stunning designs on fabric. Bring a light-colored garment, tote bag, tea towel, apron, or other item made from natural fibers such as cotton, linen, or canvas, and transform it into a one-of-a-kind piece you'll be proud to use or give as a gift.
As you layer patterns, experiment with color, and explore traditional printing techniques, you'll discover how simple motifs can become beautiful works of textile art. Whether you're new to fabric arts or looking for a fresh creative outlet, this class offers a relaxing and rewarding experience that celebrates creativity, craftsmanship, and the beauty of handmade design.
