Beautiful Batik on Paper and Fabric

Guided by textile designer Alison Butler, you'll explore a range of techniques on paper and fabric before creating your own finished piece. Set in our inspiring 18th-century Long Barn in the heart of the South Downs National Park, this workshop is suitable for all skill levels.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
In this batik workshop, we will be exploring the beautiful shapes of seed heads and summer flowers.
You will start by creating a range of smaller experimental samples and unique outcomes on different papers. This will enable you to explore the process and gain confidence with your skills before creating a larger final piece. You will also be given the opportunity to explore working on fabric. These pieces can then be embellished with hand or machine embroidery at home.

The workshop will be delivered by Alison Butler of Blooming Designs. With over 30 years' experience as a textile designer and illustrator, Alison will skilfully guide you through a range of exciting approaches.
THE VENUE
