Handprinting textiles with Atelier Karaka

Overview 274 Lovely Attendees

About this FieldTrip

In this workshop, you will take advantage of bottles and packaging you might have at home to create stamps and print colorful patterns on fabric or paper. You can use this technique to personalize a piece of clothing, a tablecloth or a postcard and create an original and meaningful gift. To participate, gather two or three flat-topped bottles, an EVA foam sheet, scissors, fabric or paper and a great deal of creativity!

About your Host

She also works in surface pattern design and hosts several workshops exploring creativity through manuality. You can know more about her and her work in www.atelierkaraka.com.

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
