Intro to Block Printing on Textiles – Print Festival 2026
Spend a few hours with printer Aidan Liggins, exploring the joy of printed patterns!
Using Aidan’s carved printing blocks and water based inks, you will experiment with colour, composition and pattern to come away with your own printed piece of fabric. You are also welcome to bring your own fabric / clothing to print onto too!
This workshop is suitable for all levels with no experience necessary.
This session is suitable for beginners and those over the age of 14 when accompanied by an adult.
This workshop is taking place as part of our Print Festival. Find out more > https://www.sunnybankmills.co.uk/arts/print-festival-2026
