Design Your Own Tea Towel: Inspired by Spring Florals

This is a two session creative course that invites you to explore spring florals through paper collage and pattern design, resulting in your own professionally printed tea towel.

Guided step by step, you’ll design a repeat tile and see it transformed into a functional keepsake to use at home or give as a gift.

Across the sessions, you’ll work at a relaxed, thoughtful pace, focusing on creativity, process and enjoyment rather than perfection. The course is designed to be inclusive and beginner friendly, offering space to slow down, experiment and take pride in a finished outcome.

Location – The Percival Guildhouse, Rugby
