Sat 22 Feb 2025 – Pattern Disruptors is a textile printing workshop led by artist Kate Owens and inspired by the work of Bernat Klein. Together we will explore the idea of non-patterning using small scale wooden print blocks. The starting point for this session is thinking about Klein’s resistance to repeating pattern. He used space-dyeing and irregular yarn to create variety in his woven fabrics. In this workshop, we’ll play with variety, trying different block printing techniques including masking, overlapping, rotating and combining. This is a chance to make your own unique non-patterned fabric!

This workshop covers the basics of block carving and textile printing using simple materials. It’s a fun and engaging table-based activity which can be done by any age. We will be using Soil Association approved inks and a mixture of reclaimed and sustainably sourced fabrics. 

This free two-hour workshop is for children aged 7 and over and their families or carers. There are two chances to come along so please book the time that works best for you. Full details and book at https://www.tickettailor.com/events/covepark
