Lino Printing: Design & Print Fabric for a Roman Blind
In this creative, hands-on course, you’ll learn how to design and lino print your own fabric specifically for a Roman blind. Combining traditional printmaking techniques with practical interior use.
You’ll be guided through the full process, from developing a repeat or placement design, carving your lino block, and printing onto fabric. Along the way, you’ll learn how to consider scale, pattern, and alignment so your design works beautifully once made up into a blind. Guidance is given on colour choice, registration, and achieving clear, consistent prints.
No previous lino printing experience is needed. The course is suitable for beginners as well as those with some creative experience who want to apply printmaking to a functional outcome. The atmosphere is relaxed and supportive, with an emphasis on experimentation and learning through doing.
By the end of the day, you’ll have a length of hand-printed fabric ready to be made into a Roman blind for Fornighty Hall, along with the skills and confidence to continue lino printing for other home textiles such as cushions, table linens, or wall hangings at home.
This workshop is for the creation of bespoke home furnishing pieces to create a cosy, warm, inviting and homely space in Fornighty Hall's small back room. These pieces will stay on site and not be taken home. The course price reflects this and has been subsidised by grant funding.
A creative project for the community of East Nairnshire, with an over arching creative theme focusing on local wildlife and nature as our inspiration- 'the humble leaf'.
Participants will gain in confidence, skills and knowledge to be able to expand on these crafts at home or together at the knit and natter sessions in the hall.
Workshops hosted at Fornighty Hall - Nairn
There is an extra free workshop for project participants- Lino printing cards- November 1st – 2 – 5pm (for folk to take home the pieces they create if they wanted to as a thank you for their involvement.)
