Kay Davis is a Painter, Illustrator and Textiles Designer based in South East London.
In this workshop, Kay will be demonstrating sustainable block printing techniques that will introduce us to affordable ways in which we can create textile print patterns and designs. By repurposing materials such as packaging and cardboard, we’ll be encouraged to reconsider how we dispose of waste and be inspired to use them for design.
You will need:
* Plain cotton tote bag / plain fabric
* 3-5 sheets of plain A4 paper
* 2 sheets of tracing paper (optional)
* Foam stamping shapes such as these (if you don’t want to make your own)
* Polystyrene Sheets (if you want to make your own stamp designs)
* Block printing ink in colour(s) of your choice
* Ink roller
* Tray
* Wet cloth and water for cleaning
* HB Pencil
* Gluestick
* Scrap cardboard
* Newspaper to cover surfaces!

Hospital Rooms is a London-based arts and mental health charity that radically transforms inpatient mental health settings with contemporary art.
We have joined forces with internationally acclaimed artists to lead art workshops remotely from their studios and homes.
The artists leading these sessions have exhibited in many of the world's best galleries and have taught in some of the country's best art schools, including Royal Academy Schools, Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins. Over the coming weeks they will introduce you to their creative practice, help guide you to create your own artworks and answer questions along the way.
These workshops are for inpatient mental health units, as well as people accessing community mental health services and the wider public.
So grab a sketchbook, dust off your pencils, and get creative using #DigitalArtSchool. We would love to see your artworks, so please share them with us using the hashtag, or by tagging us on Instagram (@_hospitalrooms) and Twitter (@hospital_rooms)!
This project has been made possible thanks to the generous support of Arts Council England and Winsor and Newton.
