Bush Inspired Printmaking with Fiona Wright
Course Overview
Using hand carved wooden blocks [supplied], foam sponge and gum leaves we’ll spend a day print making.
Consider building up a repeat print from simple motifs layered together, you will take home a range of samples and a fabric length to use for clothing or homewares.
Our theme will focus on motifs from the Australian Bush but the ideas are applicable to any motifs that rock your boat.
