Botanical printing and textile workshop

Join us on Sunday 15 November for a botanical printing and textile workshop led by artist and educator Joanna Shennan. 

In this creative workshop, you will explore the experimental technique of printing foliage onto fabric using a Gelli plate - an intuitive and individual process that results in beautifully organic prints.

Using foliage gathered from our greenspace, you will learn how different leaves and plant materials create distinctive textures, shapes and patterns.

Joanna will also guide you through a range of stitching techniques to enhance your print, adding texture, detail and personal expression.

You’ll have the chance to begin stitching into your piece during the workshop, with the option to continue and complete your artwork at home.
