TASTER: Block printing tote bags with Tess Grace
FREE Tasters (Textile Art) • Educational, G, 16-Jul-2021
Block printing is a very simple and easy way to decorate a plain fabric tote bag. In this workshop, Tess shows you how to make this beautiful, Moroccan style tote bag which is completely washable. You'll learn how to use two colours on your block, find the middle of your work and avoid splashing the paint onto your precious project. Don't forget to practice first!
If you'd like to make the tote bag featured in this video, you can find it in our Shop. You will find some of Tess's other kits there, too, such as the Leafy Lemon Tote Bag Block Printing Kit. For a bigger selection of kits and products by Tess, visit her website, https://www.theindianblockprintco.com
