School holidays: Design your own repeat print

Turn everyday objects into bold, repeat patterns in this holiday workshop. You’ll start with simple still life drawing, then learn how to transform your sketches into a repeating textile design using just paper, scissors and tape.

No experience needed, just bring your ideas. Got favourite objects? Bring them along to make your design more personal. Your finished pattern will be emailed to you after the session.

For ages: 14-18
All materials provided.
