About this Event

Join us for a fun and creative session of botanical printing!

Create your own printed t-shirt using pressed leaves and plants in this hands-on workshop with textile artist Helen Greensmith (Helen Ruth Scarves).

Inspired by the local landscape, you’ll explore mono-printing on fabric using locally gathered pressed leaves and plants, along with textile inks. Layer shapes and colours to build up a unique design, and leave with your own beautifully printed t-shirt.

All materials are provided, and no previous experience is necessary. All young people need to be accompanied by an adult.

This is a family-friendly workshop suitable for all ages, so bring along the whole family – parents, carers, grandparents and friends are all welcome.

Please be aware that we will be using textile inks. An apron will be provided, but we recommend wearing old clothing, as the inks will be permanent on clothing and fabric

We aim to create welcoming, inclusive and inspiring spaces where children, young people, adults and families can explore their creativity, learn new skills and spend quality time together.
