Lino Printing with Anne Brooke
We have had a lovely day today with a return visit from Anne Brooke . We've been designing patterns to transfer onto lino to then print to make into a scroll on a bobbin. There was plenty of guidance and inspiration from Anne and we had great fun with practice prints before tackling our pieces to use for the scroll. Some inspiration from Anne: Designs in the making: We then printed onto cotton, cotton organdie and teabag paper. we used fabric paint from the Indian Block Printing Company; we combined three or four colours to create some gorgeous colour combinations. The prints were all different making use of line and negative space. We got messy! Here's our efforts at the end of the day. We will be turning them into stitched scrolls or little boxes. Updates with our finished pieces to follow, they might even make an appearance at Yarndale. What a great day, thoroughly recommended.
