Hand-print your own Tote Bag

Description

Hand-print your own tote bag! Unleash your creativity and craft a beautiful, one-of-a-kind linocut design in this relaxing class! Guided step-by-step by expert Rachel Reynolds, you'll learn how to carve and print a unique, single-colour block design, and print onto a cotton tote bag. Whether you're a beginner or looking to explore a new skill, this workshop offers the perfect opportunity to create something wonderfully personal to take home and enjoy. About the Tutor: Rachel graduated with a BA (Hons) in Printed Textiles from Loughborough University (formerly LCAD). Shortly after, she received her first commission for site-specific hand-painted backdrops, followed by further commissions for printed textiles in churches and building atria, as well as wall hangings for domestic interiors. As a qualified adult education tutor, Rachel has extensive experience leading a variety of print and collage workshops for children and adults across the UK. Additionally, she works part-time as a Digital Textiles Technician at Winchester School of Art, where she provides technical support and workshops for BA and MA Textile Design students in hand and digital printing, fabric dyeing, and CAD. Important Note: We have a coffee shop in our centre if you would like to get refreshments before the workshop but we suggest doing this 15 minutes beforehand.  Additionally, you are welcome to stop for a break at lunchtime. If you would like to have lunch we would recommend bringing your own. Our coffee shop only stocks light refreshments, cakes, and crisps.
