Eco Printing Workshop

Veterans' Growth are running an eco printing workshop at their site in Westfield on Tuesday 10 November, from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm. It's a five-hour session, so you'll want to clear the whole day for it.

Nicky Mehdi of Meadowdyes is leading the day. She'll show you how to use nature to create patterns and colours on paper and fabric, working with what's around you rather than relying on synthetic dyes. The session is described as being for curious learners, students and skill-builders looking for hands-on, practical expertise in a focused, interactive setting, so it's as much about picking up a new craft as it is about the things you'll make. You'll be working through the process from start to finish, and you'll leave with your own printed pieces.

It's a full day's affair, and the organisers have thought about the gaps in between the printing. The price includes your tuition and all the materials you'll need, along with refreshments and a home-cooked lunch, so you don't have to worry about packing a bag or heading out for a break. If you're driving, there's free parking on site, and there's a disabled WC available too.

General admission is £33, and it's free for veterans, veterans' families and carers of veterans. The workshop runs from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm at Veterans' Growth, Cottage Lane, Westfield, Hastings, TN35 4RS.
