Have you ever been inspired by the bold and unique look of handmade, block printed fabric and wished to create your own?

In this class, using a few simple tools, you will explore the intuitive
block printing process to create your very own patterns on fabric.

With Susana as your guide, you will enjoy the complete process of making your own hand-block printed fabric items. Tapping on her wellspring of knowledge and experience, Susana will lead you through the steps of creating a simple design, transfer and carve it into a rubber block and print it onto fabric.

In particular, this workshop will focus on creating fabric to
add to your custom sewn pajama pants (or shorts, depending
on what you have chosen to make) plus you can use the stamp(s) you carve to create a matching t-shirt
should you feel that would be some extra fun.

And, what is especially powerful about this workshop is Susana’s penchant for bold, geometric, designs. Her work stands out with its original use of pattern and color.

Ready to dig in and have some fun with beeeYOUteeful results? Let’s go!
