I really enjoyed the workshop. We were warmly welcomed by susannah and made to feel very relaxed and comfortable. The blocks we used for printing are absolutely gorgeous and I was very pleased with the end result, I printed a cushion cover, a bag and some material. Susannah was extremely helpful and explained everything very clearly.

A fun and relaxed way to get creative whilst meeting new people and having a cuppa and a chat. Susannah is a lovely host and made sure everyone got the most out of the workshop with useful tips and guidance. I especially love the bag I printed!

Fantastic way to learn even if you dont think you are naturally creative. susannah has a way of drawing it out of you whilst keeping it fun and met some lovely people.

Susannah was a great teacher- she took the time to explain/ guide us individually if needed and shared her large knowledge about the practice of block printing. I would definitely recommend the workshop- I am looking forward to continue the practice and to get more creative!
