3 hours 15 mins Class size 1 to 8 guests    

  $90 (Afterpay & PayPal Pay in 4 available)

Join Rachel from OOLAH STUDIO for a hands-on printing workshop at Fare Cravin’ Cafe on the Central Coast.
Arrive early to grab a cuppa and treat from the cafe, then wander through Fairhaven Op Shopping Village for inspiration—Rachel's favourite place to source pre-loved fabric for printing.
In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn the basics of block printing onto fabric alongside the OOLAH approach to pattern and design. You’ll learn to carve your own simple design onto a printing block while experimenting with repeat patterns and composition.
Choosing one colour, you’ll print your final design onto pre-loved fabric sourced from Fairhaven, using eco-friendly textile ink. You’ll leave with a printed piece which can later be turned into a wall hanging, patchwork project, cushion cover, gift wrap, accessory, or keepsake piece.
Whether you love sewing, crafting, making, or are curious to try something new, this workshop offers a thoughtful and creative introduction to block printing onto fabric while breathing new life into discarded textiles.
What you'll get
  • Learn how to design a simple pattern, carve your block, and print onto fabric
  • Each participant will choose one colour for their print, with the workshop focusing on creating a striking one-colour design
