Course programme

In addition to using these references plus your own drawings, you will learn and master the mixing of textile inks and discovering differing colour palettes.

Recently commissioned by the RNLI to redesign their best-selling Kitchen Range which launched in Spring 2016, Ailsa has a passion for traditional printing methods applied in a bold, contemporary, and graphic style. Her surface pattern designs are collected worldwide.

Watch as your designs spring to life through the exploration of lino block, silk screen printing and relief printing. Ailsa will guide you as you plan and build a repeat or placement design that you can print on cloth for a final project. This completed cloth will then be used to create a stylish finished item, such as a scarf, t-shirt, bag, cushion cover or even table linen.
