Linen Lampshade Block Printing Workshop

44 Windmill Road, Millisle, Down, BT22 2ED
An example of what you can create

About

Join Jenna from Sychar's Well on Friday 12th September, 2025, for a creative and experimental morning block printing your own linen lampshade. This workshop will be hosted by the lovely Janice in her Garden Studio, at her home, the School Master's House, outside Millisle.

Our workshop will run from 10.30am until 2pm. After tea/coffee and a croissant to kick-start the morning, the workshop will begin with participants learning about pattern making, and will spend some time experimenting with Jenna's own hand-cut blocks to create your own unique pattern. After learning printing techniques and test printing on to a paper template, you will hand print your own unique pattern on to a linen lampshade backing and will then be guided to construct your lampshade. You will take home your own hand-printed, 20cm conical lampshade (shape as pictured).

Guests will be provided with a delicious lunch of Apple Dijon Chicken accompanied with rice, and followed by a blackberry and apple crumble made with locally sourced apples and wild blackberries.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners. And please note that as we will be working with textile ink, please either bring an old apron or do not wear your finery!

*After purchasing, please email to inform of any dietary requirements, should you have any.

**If you should need to request a refund, notification must be made 3 weeks prior to the workshop, otherwise participants who cannot attend may transfer their ticket to a friend. Tickets cannot be transferred to a different workshop.
