Chalk-painted wooden accessories, stencilled fabric tableware, name cards and more – this multi-material craft workshop is a wonderful introduction to the versatility of stencil printing. Create botanical and floral-inspired designs to brighten your home or make thoughtful handmade gifts.

 

Choose whether to focus more on fabric printing or painted decorative items. From a useful little tea tray and coasters to napkins and a printed textile piece that works equally well hung in the kitchen or laid on a table, there will be plenty of creative opportunities to explore.

 

Alongside my hand-blended stencilling paints, I’ll provide a co-ordinated range of homemade chalk paints to use. I’ll also share how you can create your own chalk paint at home using readily available shop-bought match pots.

​​

The course starts with chalk painting your chosen wooden pieces, exploring simple techniques and pleasing finishes that can create beautiful vintage-inspired effects.

 

Enjoy using my pre-made garden and wildflower inspired stencils, you’ll begin by learning the basics of handling paint successfully on both fabric and hard surfaces. I’ll demonstrate a variety of brush techniques to help you create richly layered patterns and decorative effects with confidence.
 

Stencil printing is a wonderfully rewarding and relaxing craft - a lovely way to upcycle, breathe new life into existing belongings, and enjoy the creative process.
 

The techniques you learn during the workshop will give you the confidence and know-how to continue decorating and creating at home.
