Join printmaker Alex Williams for a fun, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to carve and print your own stamps.
In this creative class, Alex will guide you through designing and carving three simple stamps using softcut rubber and lino carving tools. You can arrive with ideas about your design or use some of Alex’s handy templates. You’ll then combine your stamps to print beautiful patterns onto fabric squares, creating two unique fat quarters to take home.
Your stamps are yours to keep and reuse, so you can continue stamping at home — decorate more fabric, embellish a plain shirt, or make matching gift wrap and cards. Come along and discover the satisfaction of handmade printmaking in a relaxed and friendly setting!
About your workshop leader:
Alex studied Fine Art and Illustration at university and has a PGCE in secondary Art and Design. She is an experienced teacher and workshop leader and combines this with her practice as a freelance artist and illustrator, working with both print and paint.
Alex loves colour and pattern and is inspired by richly decorated, historical ceramics, architecture and bright florals and often uses still life compositions in her work. Alex’s printmaking and drawing styles often consist of flat layers of bold colour which lends itself to using the ‘jigsaw’ method to create prints.

If you can no longer use your ticket(s), please phone the Box Office to discuss. We may be able to sell them to another customer if the event is sold out.

If some or all of your tickets are re-sold, they will be refunded to you minus the non-refundable £3 commission on each ticket.
