Join textile artist Laurel Coxon for a full day of hands-on creativity in this immersive workshop focused on exploring block printed textile techniques. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned maker, this class is designed to inspire and equip you with practical skills in fabric design.

What You’ll Learn:

• Block printing, including carving your own blocks
• Colour mixing and ink preparation to create your own custom palette
• Tips and techniques to continue your practice at home

What You’ll Create:

• A small collection of your own custom-printed fabrics
• A deeper understanding of textile design and printmaking
• The confidence to experiment with colour, pattern, and process

Let your imagination lead the way and walk away with vibrant, one-of-a-kind textile pieces that reflect your personal style!

Materials and equipment: All materials and equipment will be provided.

Please note:

Clothing: We will be working with inks that do not easily wash out of clothing. Wear old clothes and bring an apron/old shirt etc. as cover-up. Avoid loose, dangly sleeves, which can be a safety hazard.

Food and drink: East Quay Kitchen offers a delicious menu that caters for most dietary preferences, but you are welcome to bring your own lunch and snacks to eat in the studio. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Parking: There is no on-site parking for visitors to East Quay. Harbour Road pay and display car park is convenient but costly. There is unrestricted parking along Doniford Road and other residential streets nearby. East Quay is just a short walk from here via Goviers Lane.

If you have any other questions or would like to speak to Lily, please send her an email at printstudio@eastquaywatchet.co.uk.

Terms & conditions:

Course fees must be paid for online at time of booking.
