Ink & Press onto Fabric: A Creative Drop-In Workshop

Step into the studio and experience the simple, satisfying process of lino printing for yourself. Throughout the day, I’ll have a selection of my hand-carved lino block designs ready for you to choose from, each one inspired by the natural beauty of the Surf Coast. Bring along a piece of fabric you’d love to give new life to; a t-shirt, tote, jumper, or any smooth material. You can then print one of my designs onto it using fabric inks. I’ll guide you through the process 🙂 No experience needed — just a willingness to get a little inky and creative.

When: Saturday and Sunday - 10am-3pm
