PATTERN PLAY: Print Your Own Designs on Fabric!
A creative kids’ art class exploring fabric printing with texture and colour.
What you'll do
Love patterns, shapes, and getting a little messy with ink? Over this 4-week afterschool class, join artist Hanna Wood for fun-filled art sessions where you will explore relief printing on fabric. You’ll use shapes, stamps, and your own designs to create bold, colourful patterns that you can wear, decorate with, or turn into special gifts.
In this hands-on class, you’ll:
- Play with different materials like soft foam, rubber blocks, and lino to make your own printing blocks
- Learn how to press patterns onto fabric using tools or your hands
- Mix and layer colours to build up exciting designs
- Print on mini fabric squares, patches, and your own tote bag!
- Carve your own small and medium printing blocks to take home
This session is all about imagination, play, and learning new skills. You’ll finish with your own printed fabrics and lots of ideas to keep making at home!
Knowledge required
This class is designed for kids aged 7 to 12 who love making art and trying new things. No experience needed – just bring your creativity and curiosity!
