For everybody interested in learning the stencil printing techniques that I have developed I give online workshops and courses.  I teach  a complete course (7.5 hours over 3 days) in stencil printing that starts at beginner level and then goes on to teach you all I know about stencil printing and the basics of pattern making with stencils. If you have already done any of my courses there are more advanced workshops.

Please look at the FAQ (frequently asked questions) to find out more about the workshops and the supplies needed.

Short workshop, printing fabric for Christmas presents and Christmas decor

​

A short workshop in which you will get a first taste of stencil printing and learn to print simple prints and patterns for your presents for the holidays or for Christmas decor. You will learn to make simple stencils and use a few different printing techniques. You will be able to make a good start on your prints and ask all of your questions, but you will need to finish projects after the workshop is finished.

You will be able to use your prints on (small) presents like pouches, bags, cushions, placemats and if you are  patient even larger ones like a table cloth. This workshop is timed to allow you to finish you prints and make them into presents before Christmas. 

If want to just do a short taster workshop in stencil printing this is also a good choice, you can decide what kind of motifs you want to print.

Advanced workshops 

2 lesson workshop on In depth pattern design for stencil printing

This workshop is meant for people who have mastered all the basic techniques (cutting, printing techniques, working with several stencils for more complex motifs and working with helplines). The workshop will consists of 2 lessons of 3 hours each and a come back session of approximately one hour to discuss progress and ask questions. As working with pattern designing for stencil printing takes  time we will not be able to finish patterns within the lessons. It is essential that you take enough time between the lessons to practice and finish the patterns we have started in the lessons as well as try some new ones.

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 more unusual 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.

Fridays January 6th, March 3rd and 17th at 5 PM Dutch time (sold out)

As the current workshop is sold out I'm now taking registrations for a next workshop, which will be planned as soon as there are enough registrations.

​

3 hour workshop in designing and stencil printing floral/botanical prints and patterns 

This workshop is meant for those of you who are interested in diversifying your 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 (a minimum of 3 people).

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.

This 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,- (min. 3 students max. 10).

The workshop planned for spring has now sold out and I'm taking registrations for a next workshop, which will be planned as soon as there are enough registrations.
