About the event
Rosemary has the perfect workshop for DIY homewares and gifts! As well as, yet another interesting printmaking technique – Block printing with rubber stamps! Once you’ve carved your pattern out of the rubber block, use it to create repeated patterns on your chosen textile.


In the workshop, participants will choose between a cotton tote and a linen tea towel to print. Then, they’ll draw their mud cloth inspired pattern onto the rubber block, carve it out, ink it up and transfer to their textile. Each participant can create two stamps, and the group can all use each other’s stamps to create unique repeating patterns!

All tools and materials supplied. Rosemary will offer info on sourcing and purchasing tools and materials used in the workshop. She’ll also have additional linen tea towels and cotton totes to purchase so that participants can continue their block printing on textiles journey at home home.


Rosemary has been an amateur artist all her life, trying out all sorts of techniques in painting and printmaking. After a career in libraries and as a museum curator she is now living in Rotorua and focusing on her art practice. She has learned printmaking by doing various short courses including reduction lino printing, collagraphs and etching. Her love of block printing has been transferred from paper to textiles via her brand Ruru Textiles. She uses quality linen tea towels and table runners and transforms them with block prints.
