Blockprinting Workshops
WELCOME TO THE ANCIENT AND MEDITATIVE WORLD OF BLOCKPRINTING​
Blockprinting, which is also called relief printing, has been in my life since the age of 10 when I carved and printed my first lino block in an afternoon art class. I blockprinted curtains for my bedroom when I was a teenager, and the fabric for my matric dance dress. I still use it in my practise as a printmaker.
I find the slow meditative process of carving and printing the lino block very calming. In this busy and frenetic world, I love that this ancient technique is done by hand, with no machines and no ways to speed it up. It is one of the easiest methods of printing and I so enjoy including blockprinting workshops in my studio offering.​

"I loved the Pattern Print Play blockprinting on paper course. I learnt a lot and feel I have techniques and inspiration to continue on my own. I found it well structured, full of good practical tips, fun and satisfying. I would highly recommend the course."

"Firstly just wanted to say how much I am enjoying the lino printing course. Your presentation is lovely, relaxed but still getting the work done. The pace is perfect and I’m really learning so much every minute. It’s super interacting with the other like minded students too, I look forward to it every week."
