Get to Know Us

Spend an afternoon or evening making your own tote bag using heat press techniques. In this 2 hour session you will get an introduction to using a heat press from Sami, an experienced art teacher and illustrator. She will then show you how to use it to create your own one-of-a-kind tote bag design.


What you'll do

You will be shown different methods of creating a design for your tote bag and how to use a heat press to make it permanent. Methods include using htv vinyl, heat transfer dyes and heat set pastels. Each method gives a different effect- experiment with one or combine them to create something unique. You will then create your design, finish it with the heat press and take home a personalised handmade tote! Having an idea of a design before you come is useful but not essential.

•⁠  ⁠want to try something new

ABOUT SAMI

Hi, I’m Sami! I’m a multidisciplinary artist and illustrator.

I completed my BA in Illustration in Falmouth and have worked as a secondary art teacher for 5 years.
Originally from Whitstable, Kent, I moved to Cambridge a year ago and fell in love with the city and its historic charm. My practice is really varied and focuses on traditional and digital mediums; I am both an oil painter and a digital artist and love to experiment with new techniques and materials. 

I love combining whimsical elements with colour to celebrate themes such as the natural world and the everyday. My dream is to one day publish a children’s book.

You can find me on instagram @samisketchbook or for business enquiries contact me at samihenryillustration@gmail.com
