About

At Bowood House and Gardens, you can join Marea Brown to learn the art of Indian block printing and create your own beautiful designs using a wide range of hand-carved blocks. You will have the chance to print either a table runner, a set of napkins, or any three other items of your choice — such as tea towels, tote bags, cushion covers, aprons, or scarves — which you can take home at the end of the day.

The workshop begins with a demonstration before you practise on spare fabric, giving you the confidence to create your own designs. Please remember to wear old clothes or bring an apron.

A small selection of printing blocks and blank textiles will also be available to buy at the end of the session if you would like to continue this craft at home. Entry into Bowood House & Gardens is included, so you are free to wander through the House and Gardens either before or after your workshop session.
