This project for Key Stages 1 and 2 introduces the process of block-printing onto fabric based on historical and cultural sources.  The block-printing theme is developed to include the use of mixed media and can be experienced with the minimum of equipment and materials. It introduces how to successfully block-print onto fabric and the right materials to use.  In this Project Teaching Pack we suggest ways to make printing successful and different.

The Block-printing Project Teaching Pack describes the process of block-printing and gives you numerous ideas and detailed, easy to follow instructions.  It contains photographs of the different stages of the process. The pack also contains great photographs of artwork produced by children, and a few are also shown the photo gallery.  With the exception of consumable materials and equipment the pack includes everything necessary to try block-printing.

The pages of each Project Teaching Pack are in individual plastic sleeves to protect them against spills and damage in the classroom and the packs are in a sturdy loose-leaf folder so that materials can be removed for display.  Each Project Teaching Pack contains a detailed materials and equipment list.  Packs are also now available in pdf form, offering a considerable saving on printed packs.

This pack is suitable for Key Stage 1 and beyond and describes the use of both block-printing and screen-printing, and children can make kites that will fly.
