Join artist and designer Holly Scholfield for this free creative workshop for 10-16 year olds! Design and carve your own printing block and create exciting repeat patterns you can print on paper and fabric. This workshop is part of The Blank Page Project.
Workshops take place from 9.45AM to 3.30PM and include a free lunch, drinks and snacks!
In this workshop we will be exploring the traditional craft of block printing using the technique of lino cutting. Each student will begin by drawing and creating their own repeat designs ready to transfer to the lino. They will carve blocks using the tools and make repeat patterns that can be printed onto fabric and paper.
Please feel free to bring in any old t-shirts/fabrics or items of your own form home that you might like to upcycle. Come and have a fun and busy day of printing!
The wellbeing of our young people is really important to us and time outdoors is a key part of that. With this in mind, where possible a short walk or time outdoors will be incorporated into the workshop days. This will be supervised by the staff running the workshops and will also be weather dependent. Please ensure your child has a coat and sensible footwear!
Workshops are completely free to attend but must be booked in advance. You can book online via eequ.
If your booking is made within 72 hours of the workshop, we may not be able to accommodate specific dietary requirements. Please get in touch with the library location for the workshop to discuss options. Please note that whilst we welcome all young people, our staff are not specifically SEND trained.
This workshop is for 10-16 year olds only. If you feel your child requires additional support in the form of adult attendance in order to access this workshop, contact us by emailing katie.puls@suffolklibraries.co.uk.
