Summer of Play: Hapa Zome Nature Printing

Smash, press, and print with the colours of nature.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Join us for a hands-on drop-in workshop where art meets the outdoors! Using the ancient Japanese technique of Hapa Zome, you'll create beautiful botanical prints by hammering leaves and flowers onto fabric. Discover the natural dyes hidden in plants, experiment with patterns, and take home your own wild masterpiece. All ages welcome—no experience needed, just curiosity and creativity. No booking required.
