Helen Houghton reviewed: Transfer printing on fabric

"I had a really lovely creative day learning Transfer printing. Alison is a very experienced textile artist and generous with her knowledge. I learned lots of new techniques and was able to experiment and enjoy playing around with new ideas. The studio barn is lovely and we were spoiled with hot drinks and home made cakes. I can’t wait to go back! "

Blooming Designs - Art in the Barn responded:

"Hi Helen, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your day and I am so pleased you enjoyed the day. Transfer printing is a really fun day and very experimental. It is always exciting to see how the dyes are transformed when heat is added, you never know what the outcome will be ! Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Best wishes Alison "

"I have now done two of Alison’s batik art days and they leave you feeling motivated that anyone can create art no matter what skills you have. Lovely welcoming farm where you can lose yourself for a day with other similar minded people "

Happy painting ! Best wishes Alison"
