Kitchen & Dining Supplies ｜Gelli-Plate & Monoprint on Fabric with Karen Carter - Thurs 22nd October 2026

Thursday 22nd October 2026
10am - 4pm
Create multi-layered pieces of work on fabric using gelli-printing and monoprint techniques. Combine these with some stencils and stamps, a splash of colour, and a bit of stitch. 
We will make our own gelli-printed cloth using stamps, stencils, line monoprints, and rubbings, to provide shape, texture, and focal points.  Embellish with decorative stitching, dimensional paints, beads etc. 
Use your printed cloth in conjunction with found materials such as lace, scrim, netting and patterned fabrics.A fun experimental printing workshop to transform your collection of plain fabrics into something perfect for making stitch-pots, book covers, wall art or snippet rolls.
