Join Wakefield print-maker and textile designer Aidan Liggins and immerse yourself in the world of pattern and block printing.

This half-day workshop gives you the chance to create your own table runner. You'll start with sketching and learn how to turn these into beautiful prints - (this won't be about making perfect drawings). 

We'll then be transferring this design to your own printing block and learning how to carve to create pattern and texture. Along the way, you’ll experiment with repeat structures, colour, and layout to create your own original printed fabric.

You’ll leave with a finished table runner, your hand-carved block, and the confidence to keep printing at home. This is ideally for beginners, or anyone wanting to create their own homewares - where process matters more than perfection.

Your workshop ticket also includes complimentary tea or coffee, and a baked treat from Slow Rise Bakery

About Your Host

Aidan is a Wakefield-based textile block printer whose work is rooted in tradition, slowness, and a love for the natural world. Working exclusively with natural linen, water-based inks and foraged dyes, each piece is hand-printed using traditional block printing techniques that celebrate the beauty of imperfection and the rhythm of handmade craft.

Inspired by a connection to nature, ancient folklore, and the seasonal cycles that once guided daily life, Aidan's designs are simple and timeless. Every print is created slowly and intentionally, embracing the principles of slow consumption and sustainable living.
