About this event

In this two-part workshop we will use a simple block printing technique to create an organic floral pattern on paper. Then using watercolor paint and other art mediums, learn to hand tint and add decorative detail to the visual narrative, which will then be made into a beautiful accordion fold artist’s book.

Extra Supplies you can bring to class:

NOTE: This is a suggested supply list! You do not need to purchase all of these items for the class if you do not want to. At the very minimum you will need to bring a few paint brushes and some water color paints and glue. Additionally, I have suggested some brands that I like, but feel free to substitute them with what you may already have on hand or with your own preferred brands.

Some sort of glue/adhesive for collage:
