Monoprinting is easy and fun. It’s a quick way to create unique patterned paper and fabric for any type of craft.

If you’ve not tried Mono-printing, then you’ll not know what you’re missing. But take it from me, it’s a whole heap of fun and it’s much easier than it looks. It’s a great way of creating your own fabric to inspire embroidery and collage designs. So if you like quilting, patchwork or any form of fabric craft, then why not give it a go? It’s also a really quick way of creating decorative papers for cardmaking.It’s the easiest way to learn how to design your own unique artworks.

Firstly, I’ll show you how to make your own mark-making tools and printing blocks using everyday items. I love to use ‘found’ objects from nature, such as feathers and leaves. These unique marks will enable you to totally personalize your work. You will spend some time creating your own collection of printed materials (papers and/or fabrics). Finally, we’ll look at how colour and pattern can inspire stitch. You can then use hand or machine embroidery to further embellish your work. You could collage your materials together to produce a totally unique artwork or take them home to use in a bag or cushion. This class will free you from having to buy commercial printed papers and fabrics. It will add a whole new dimension to your work.

When you come to Mono-printing for Stitch and see how easy and fun it is to make your own gorgeous collage materials, you won’t want to buy fabric ever again.
All the printing materials and equipment are provided but I’ll advise the paper/fabric requirements when you book.

Level: All (although hand embroidery, basic sewing machine or free-motion embroidery skills would be an advantage)

Duration: 10am-4pm £60. Must be pre-booked.
