Family Workshop: Flower and Plant Hapa Zome Prints

 Learn an ancient Japanese technique to create unique floral prints, inspired by the landscape of Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet. 

Slow down and create something beautiful together in the calm and historic setting of the Hamlet.  

In this hands-on family workshop, we’ll guide you through the ancient Japanese technique of hapa zome, which involves tapping leaves and flowers using a hammer to release the plants’ natural dyes and transfer vibrant colours and shapes onto your fabric. Forage for flowers and plants around the historic site before creating your own unique artworks on fabric and paper to take away with you and treasure. 

This workshop is suitable for the whole family to do together. We will provide all the materials you need, and no experience is required.  

What families have said about our workshops:   

“The best thing about it was the freedom for the kids to choose what they wanted to create. Also, great craft supplies.”  

“It’s useful to try something new at a reasonable price.”  

Sessions run for 50 minutes. Please arrive at the start time of your ticket to ensure maximum time during the workshop. Please book a ticket for each child and each adult who will be participating in the workshop.  All ticket holders will be creating at least one print each.  All children need to be accompanied by an adult.
