Design A Repeat Textile Print for Youth

Learn to create a repeat textile print with local artist Em Hatton. For ages 14-18.

A still life drawing workshop with a fun twist. You’ll be guided to draw various objects and knick-knacks, quietening your inner critic and keeping it expressive and individual to you. You’ll then learn how to turn these drawings into a nice repeat print using only paper, tape and scissors. Your unique design will be emailed to you after the session.

Beginner-friendly, and all materials provided. But if you have some favourite or interesting objects you’d like to turn into a repeat print, feel free to bring them along.

Ages 14-18

Be inspired with some great book resources on pattern designs here.

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR:

EM HATTON is a contemporary artist who mainly paints femme figures and has a background in textile design and screenprinting. Bold colour contrasts are a central point in Em’s work, and she paints in a signature flattened style with bold bright colours and a focus on line and form over shading. Em creates work on Gadigal land in Mothership Studios, Marrickville, a shared artist warehouse community of makers, musicians and artists.
