Fabric Printing - Dye sublimation with Blue Roll Printmaking

Dye sublimation is a heat transfer printing process. We will apply the inks to papers in a variety of ways and then cut and place the paper inky side onto the fabric. When put in the heat press for 30 seconds, the dye permanently transfers to the fabric. You can layer up, creating new colours where they overlap. It can look a lot like screen printing and is incredibly satisfying. There's lots of room for experimentation and play.

Get active on the Rainbow Rush with some friendly competition: spacehopper races, a game of rainbow tag, or a mini obstacle course! Wind your way along the wildlife yoga trail for a change of pace in the Orchard. Have you ever tried the frog pose? Or visit the creative corner to unleash your artistic side at one of the easels or cook up a storm at the mud kitchen. There'll also be bookable Workshop Wednesdays to learn how to make a kite, create a tree spirit and more. If you're feeling peckish, grab a wood-fired pizza from Tinkley Gate Cafe or a scoop of ice cream to enjoy on those hot summer days. With many different activities, there’s plenty to excite all ages of children (and adults!).

No booking required – simply turn up and join in on the day. 3 sessions will run for an hour every Wednesday: - 11 - midday - 12.30pm - 1.30pm - 2pm - 3pm (Apart from Wednesday 5 August when the science lab is on instead.) 15 spaces for crafters per hour, each crafter can be accompanied by up to 2 others. If one session is full then spend your time having fun with all the other free Summer of Play activities, or stop in the cafe for an ice cream and come back for the next one! Come along and be part of the Summer of Play adventure!
