Repeat Pattern Play
Explore the art of linoleum block carving and repeat pattern printing on fabric in this hands-on workshop. Learn how to design original motifs, transfer them onto carving blocks, and safely carve your designs using simple tools that can be used for years to come.
You’ll experiment with mixing transparent pigments and printing repeat patterns across fabric, building skills in color, composition, and registration. Through guided demonstrations and practice, you’ll create your own hand-carved blocks and printed textiles, leaving with finished pieces, your carved blocks, and the confidence to continue printing at home.
