What can you expect?
A fun 3-hour workshop where you can bring forth all your creativity and design wrapping paper with your special personal touch. But isn’t it easier to just buy the paper, one might think. Not when you have the opportunity to sit down with the sustainable fashion designer, Sophie Dunster herself, and create something that personifies you, all whilst having a sip of bubbly. A conversation starter at every party, we guarantee!
In this intimate group of no more than 15 attendees, you will be given the savoir-faire of lino printing and stamp designing on top of driven discussions of design and illustration. At the end of the evening, you would have learned how to linocut, print and design your own custom wrapping paper. Materials such as lino, lino tools, and paper to print on, will be provided so just take yourself, an apron/ clothes you want ink memorabilia on, and your enthusiasm! Oh and bring a big bag to take home the designs you ‘linocut’ with your very own hands!

Gung Ho
And this is a fairly new sustainable British fashion label that deserves to be checked out. Sophie Dunster, passionate about ethical fashion has given the concept a completely fresh image by embracing vibrant colors and intricate patterns in her designs. But making her clothes look pretty is just one half of it. Take a closer look and you’ll see specific environmental concerns delicately and artistically imprinted in the design. With locally sourced sustainable fabrics handmade in the UK to creating feel-good and look-good outfits, Gung Ho is prepared to inspire similar kindred minds for the change in the fashion industry that is long overdue.
