A 4 hour (2 lesson) workshop in designing and stencil printing floral/botanical motifs
This advanced workshop is meant for those of you who are interested in diversifying and enriching floral and other nature inspired prints. The workshop is also about finding and using floral/botanical inspiration and translating in into stencil designs.
Although we will work from hand drawn sketches a talent for drawing is not essential, an interest in exploring your natural inspiration is.
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 stencil design
-
How to cut your stencils using layering to achieve more complex prints.
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.
The workshop consists of:
-
a few hours of preparation in your own time, finding inspiration and sketching for which you will receive written guidance
-
a session of 3 hours spent on learning different ways to translate designs into stencils and start making your own designs
-
time to finish your designs in your own time
-
a session of 1 hour to share designs and ask questions.
Next workshop will take place in spring of 2027. I am taking registrations for it now. Once you have registered, I have reserved your place and I will contact you in early 2027 to plan the workshop.

A course on pattern design for stencil printing
The In-depth Pattern Design Course is a 5-lesson advanced course that builds on the pattern design techniques for stencil printing that I teach in the Complete Stencil Printing Course (and some of my other intensive courses).
In this course you will learn advanced repeat pattern techniques, that will enable you to technically make any kind of repeat pattern.
Designing patterns however is not just about the techniques that help you make the repeat. Even more important are ways to help you design with flow and rhythm. For me working with different grids has been a major step in my design process and in this course, you will learn how to work with different kinds of grid that help guide the flow of your patterns. Apart from the first lesson most of the lessons are short and it is essential that you reserve time in between lessons to design and print. An important aspect of this course will be discussing the work that has been done.
- lesson 1: advanced techniques for working with a repeat for repeat pattern making (3hrs)
- lesson 2: different techniques for working with square, rectangular and diamond shaped pattern tiles (1 hr)
- lesson 3: techniques for working with ogee and scallop shaped pattern tiles (1 hr)
- lesson 4: techniques for working with hexagon and chevron chaped pattern tiles. (1 hr)
- lesson 5 a comeback/wrap/up session (± 1 hr)
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.
