A 3 hour workshop in designing and stencil printing floral/botanical prints and patterns
This advanced workshop is meant for those of you who are interested in diversifying floral and other nature inspired prints and patterns. Especially with floral prints it is very easy to get into a rut and make variations of the same florals over and over. In this workshop we use nature’s inspiration to create interesting designs. The workshop is also about the cutting and printing techniques that you can use to create floral designs and patterns.
Although we will work from hand drawn sketches a talent for drawing is not essential, an interest in exploring your natural inspiration is. Planning of the workshop will start as soon as enough people have applied.
In this workshop you will learn:
-
How to look at your nature inspiration and use what you see in your designs
-
How to transform a basic sketch into a design for a floral motif
-
How to cut your stencils using layering to achieve more complex prints
-
Tips and tricks to achieve an interesting or more complex floral print.
​
The workshop will come with a reader that goes into ways you can use your inspiration to make a print design and includes many of the techniques that I often use for my floral prints.
​
€ 65,- (max. 10).
​
Next workshop will probably be planned in the spring of 2026

A course on pattern design for stencil printing
​
This workshop is meant for people who have mastered all the basic techniques that I teach (cutting, printing techniques, working with multi-stencil motifs, working with pattern registration for stencil printing) in the Complete Stencil Printing Course. I am currently working on a new format for this course that will probably be 5 lessons long. I will be able to give more detailed information at the end of the year. Register to the course to be informed as soon as information is available.
In this workshop you will learn:
-
How to design different kinds of basic pattern repeats (block repeat, half drop repeat, half brick repeat) by hand and how to use these repeats in stencil printing.
-
How to use different kinds of pattern tiles (like ogees, scales, diamonds, trapeziums etc) in your repeats and how to execute patterns made with these in stencil printing.
This workshop will come with a reader that explains all the different ways of making a pattern and that you can refer to after the workshop.

€ 145,-
​
​I am currently taking registrations for a course that (depending on registrations) will probably take place in the beginning of 2026.
