Stencil print your own fabric. Easy techniques for beautiful patterns

If you want to hand print your own fabric with beautiful patterns, but you don’t want to go to a studio to print and you don’t want to buy expensive equipment then this class is for you. The class is both for complete beginners and for people who want to take stencil printing to the next level.

I will make it easy and fun to make beautiful printed patterns even if you have no drawing skills as we will be working with very simple motifs in a Scandi Japanese style.

The class teaches you different kinds of printing techniques with a stencil and a brush to make your printed patterns look really interesting. And you will also learn different ways to build a ‘tossed’ pattern.

At the end of this class you will have your a piece of your own beautiful printed fabric, that you can use to make whatever you like, maybe a pillow, a pouch, a tote or a wall hanging?

And you will also have learned a skill for life that you can use whenever you need a special fabric that has just the right colors and the right print
