Irish Linen Block Print Workshop

Discover the art of traditional block printing while celebrating the beauty of Ireland's native flora.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of textile block printing using professional-quality textile dyes and hand-carved blocks inspired by native Irish leaves. Guided step by step, everyone will design and print their own Irish linen tea towel, creating a unique piece to take home.

Along the way, you'll experiment with colour, pattern, and composition on practice fabrics before completing your final linen piece. No previous experience is required, making this workshop suitable for beginners and creative makers alike.
