About Me
Why wood block printing....
My background is in Social Work, recruiting and training Foster Carers, but I've always made time to be creative. I enjoy sewing and needlework to help me relax and unwind from work stresses.
I first tried wood block printing in 2021 and was immediately hooked on the ease of using a wood block to print onto fabric or paper. I love the feel of the hand carved blocks (often made by Indian artisans) and print with them using vibrant fabric paint colours to give a bold image.
What started out as a personal interest; where i would invite friends over before Christmas to share my wood blocks and print Christmas cards (with a glass of mulled wine) has grown to me vastly increasing my collection of wood blocks. I now lead workshops with larger groups who want to enjoy this immersive and creative art form.
