Block Printed Table Runner Set Workshop with Red Button Press

Join Karen Edwards of Red Button Press and learn how to print your own cotton table runner and napkins – perfect to add a touch of sustainable style to your Christmas table décor or gift to a loved one. Artist/Printmaker Karen will show you how to design and make your own printing blocks made from recycled materials and apply those designs to the fabric using one or two colours of your choice. You will then take away your own unique, reusable block-printed table runner and 4 napkins and the printing skills to apply your own designs to your own fabric and paper projects. You will be using water-based inks but please wear an apron or old clothes. You will also be using scissors and a craft knife so please wear your glasses if you need them. Motifs and designs will be provided for reference but please bring your own ideas and Karen will help you transfer those ideas into blocks. Care instructions will be given in the workshop so they’re reusable for many years to come. There’s also an extra twist – you can turn your napkins into your own homemade crackers! Karen will explain how to repurpose the napkins if you want to have a more sustainable Christmas and cut down on waste.

Please note this workshop is unsuitable for children under the age of 14. Children 14+ booking this workshop must be accompanied by a paying adult.
