Botanical printmaking is back by popular demand for a summer edition.

Join Karené for a day of Lino Printing with Repeat Patterns and learn how to cut a block and print your own designs onto textiles and paper. With Karene’s expert guidance you will design and carve your choice of motif into soft Lino and learn how to effectively rotate and combine it to create rhythmic surface patterns. Combine your design with Karene’s collection of stunning Indian wood blocks to build up an intriguing decorative pattern. The process of block printing is calming and meditative, and at the same time there’s something really satisfying and exciting about gradually seeing a pattern grow on your fabric.⁣ .⁣ Lino Printing - Repeat Pattern⁣ Sat 13 June⁣ Link in bio to book⁣ .⁣ @PatternAndPrint.By.K #PrintedTextiles #PrintmakingWorkshop #LinoCutWorkshop #RepeatPattern #IndianBlockPrinting #LinoPrinting #CraftSchool #Dunblane #Stirling @CreativeWorkshopsScotland

Here's one of our finished familiars from the first Spirit Animal Stitching workshop Johanna taught for us back in 2025. Isn't she lovely! This three day retreat is spent learning how to construct a wire armature and organically layer meaningful fabrics and small stitches to create your animal sculpture. Working in Johanna's signature style of doll making, you will work intuitively guided by your own imagination and tacit hand skills to bring your character to life.⁣ .⁣ Spirit Animal Stitching with The Pale Rook⁣ Fri 10 - Sun 12 July⁣ Link in bio to book⁣ .⁣ @ThePaleRook #ArtDolls #PortraitDolls #FigurativeTextiles #ConstructedTextiles #SpiritAnimal #Familiar #DollMaking #ThePaleRook #TextileWorkshop #CraftSchool #CraftWorkshop #Dunblane #Stirling #ScottishCraft @CreativeWorkshopsScotland

Sunny days are for Cyanotyping!! I've been pruning my rampant crab apple tree, and experimented with some blossom prints while the sun was shining. There's nothing more satisfying than rinsing your prints in the sink and watching that blue hue develop! Katherine is back soon, let's pray to the weather gods for a sunny day (and crack out the UV lamps if not!).⁣ .⁣ Cyanotype Printmaking⁣ Sun 5 July⁣ Link in bio to book⁣ .⁣ @BrawArtworks #Cyanotype #Printmaking #BluePrint #Blue #Botanicals #OpenStudios #Dunblane #CraftSchool #HighStreet #ShopLocal #ScottishCraft #DiscoveringDetails #Photography

One of our stated objectives from the outset has been to support heritage crafts, and the continuation of traditional skills that will eventually be lost of they are not passed on. Our willow basketry programme is a perfect example of this, and each new class explores a different basket form, rooted in community and tradition. In the past we've explored hen baskets, which yes, were used to carry hens from farm to farm, and baskets for foraging and fruit picking. This time round we'll be looking at Irish Skib baskets, which were traditionally used for communal feasting, for draining and serving potatoes. It's distinctive grid centre and domed base make this a fantastic sculptural addition to your wall, or a great centrepiece for any feasting table (potato or otherwise!)⁣ .⁣ Beginners Basketry - Irish Skib Baskets⁣ Fri 19 & 26 June⁣ Link in bio to book⁣ .⁣ @Anna.Liebmann.Basketweaver #BasketWeaving #Basketry #WillowBaskets #HeritageCrafts #TraditionalBasketry #Weaving #Baskets #CraftWorkshop #EcoCraft #SustainableCrafting
