This is a fun activity in Retford, Doncaster
Join us for a creative and welcoming Introduction to block printing in Retford, a hands-on workshop exploring the art of hand-printing using Annie Sloan Chalk Paints. Over two hours you’ll experiment with carved printing blocks, colour, and pattern, learning how to build beautiful designs through playful exploration and repetition.
This workshop is completely beginner-friendly. You don’t need any previous experience with printing or paint -- everything is explained clearly and at an easy pace, with plenty of time to try things out and ask questions as you go.
**What to expect:**
- An introduction to block printing tools, materials, and techniques.
- Guidance on applying colour and using carved blocks effectively.
- Time to experiment freely with patterns and layouts.
- Block printing your own finished pieces: 3 greeting cards, 1 small paper craft bag or a tote bag or a tea towel.
By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a collection of hand-printed paper goods, new creative skills, and the confidence to continue block printing at home. It’s a relaxed, satisfying workshop that’s perfect if you enjoy making thoughtful, handmade pieces or want to try something new in a friendly setting!
