Poplar Union Workshops

Co-DB ran workshops to design and print bespoke fabric and a new coffee table for this exciting new community and arts space in East London. We had a lot of fun and are really happy with the stunning results.

In the first print workshop participants developed their own repeating patterns, which were printed onto tote bags. In the second workshop we made screen prints using our own patterns inspired by shapes in the built landscape outside the building. In the last workshop we collectively printed fabric based on the four seasons - spring, summer, autumn, winter.

The first workshop to design and make a coffee table was focused on design and model making. We then adopted the ideas from this workshop to develop a design that was built in the final workshop.

Great work all!
