Printing Workshop at Thea and Sami

Last Saturday I attended a full day fabric printing workshop at Thea and Sami where Thea shared with me and 4 other keen and talented ladies, her immense knowledge, talent and experience on fabric printing. For 5 wonderful creative hours we learnt the art of cutting stencils and printing our own designs onto fabric. Click on this link to Thea and Sami blog for more photos of the other ladies printing.


Amongst other things, I screen-printed some seed pods onto a russian linen tea-towel and was very happy with the results. The printing bled through to simultaneously create a textured print on the paper underneath which was a wonderfully unexpected surprise.

For more details about Thea's fabric printing business, products using organic and sustainable fabrics, etc and more workshop dates please check out her website.
