Saturday Studios – Pattern Disrupters

Pattern Disrupters is a textile printing workshop led by artist Kate Owens and inspired by the work of Bernat Klein. Participants will explore the idea of non-patterning using small-scale wooden print blocks. The starting point for this session is thinking about Klein’s resistance to repeating pattern. He used space-dyeing and irregular yarn to create variety in his woven fabrics.

This workshop covers the basics of block carving and textile printing using simple materials. It’s a fun and engaging table-based activity which can be done by any age. We will be using Soil Association approved inks and a mixture of reclaimed and sustainably sourced fabrics.

This free two-hour workshop is for children aged 7 and over and their families or carers.

If you have questions about workshop accessibility, please get in touch with Emma Henderson (Curator of Engagement).
