Wood Block Textiles Printing

The Course

A hands-on day of using wooden blocks, and learn a method that is different from printing on paper; Ink pads, dabbers, or brushes are used to apply inks – the wood blocks are positioned onto the material, and pressure applied by hand, or by striking with a wooden mallet to print repeat designs onto linen, calico, or cotton. Also learn about the development of textile printing to Victorian times and William Morris.
