Block Printing Workshop: Festive Gift Sack

About

Step into the festive spirit with a hands-on Christmas workshop led by Sarah from Sarita Prints Joy. Taking place within the beautifully decorated Animal Room at Borde Hill House, you’ll create hand-printed items in a warm and cosy setting.

Using a collection of traditional hand-carved Indian woodblocks, you’ll print your own canvas drawstring Christmas sack – perfect for children to leave out for Santa on Christmas Eve, or a festive keepsake to decorate your home. You’ll also print a 30cm square canvas bag, adding a personal touch to your Christmas gift-giving.

Choose from a beautiful range of winter botanicals and Christmas-themed designs, and personalise your creations with a name or message using custom alphabet blocks. You’ll be using high-quality, washable fabric paints to ensure your handprinted items can be loved and reused year after year.

Sarah will guide you through each step of the process, making this workshop ideal for beginners and experienced crafters alike. For those who’d like to make a pair, an optional second gift sack will be available to purchase on the day.

All materials are provided, and you’ll be welcomed with festive refreshments on arrival.

Your ticket also includes entry to the Garden – perfect for a peaceful winter stroll following your creative session.
