Inspiring Images

 

During this workshop you will learn lots of exciting ways to transfer image and text onto fabric or paper
We won’t be using nasty chemicals, just ordinary things like emulsion paint, cling film and a hot iron!
At the end of the day we will have a small  book containing samples of the different techniques.
