In this workshop, we will explore a range of plant and seaweed and natural binders to screenprint onto placemat/napkins. You will create stencils cut out from paper and can choose different colours to layer and create a sustainable design! Our inks are made in-house using seaweed, food waste and plants, come create textiles that don’t harm the environment! This workshop is free and open to young people aged 12-25 years, with under 16 year olds accompanied by a parent/carer.
