Print your own cushion cover – Indian Block Printing Workshop

Feel inspired to design, print and craft your own bespoke cushion cover to take home.

  • Booking essential

Unlock your creativity this summer with our Indian Block Printing Workshops, hosted by printmaker Sarah from Sarita Prints Joy. Taking place inside Bateman’s house, this hands-on workshop will guide you through the art of woodblock printing to design and create your very own cushion cover.

You’ll begin by selecting from a collection of beautifully hand-carved Indian woodblocks and a vibrant palette of paint colours. Experiment with layouts on a paper template before hand-printing your unique design onto a cream cotton 50x50cm square cushion cover to take home and enjoy.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience, Sarah will guide you through every step, with all materials provided.

Friday 11 July from 10.30 am to 1pm and Saturday 12 July from 10.30 am to 1pm. £50 per person, with refreshments provided on arrival. There are 8 people per session, and admission is included.
