Notebook Cover Workshop with The Manbroiderer – Multiple Dates

Description

Print, stitch, and create a textile treasure

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore the art of Indian block printing using traditionally carved wooden blocks. Working with vibrant fabrics, you’ll experiment with print and stitch to create a beautiful, tactile notebook cover.

What you’ll do:

Start the day by printing and hand stitching your fabric samples, then transform them into a unique notebook cover using simple construction techniques. In the afternoon, we’ll add machine stitching, decorative tassels, and finishing touches to make your cover truly one-of-a-kind.

Techniques covered:

• Indian block printing
• Hand and machine stitching
• Kantha-inspired embroidery

The workshops run on 22nd November (1-4pm) and 28th November (6:30-9:30pm). All sessions are held at the Yarny Bees workshop in Lichfield. (69 Upper St John Street, WS14 9DT)
