Come and make a handmade gold card for a loved one this silly season!

You will learn the art of block printmaking - an artform that has been used for over a century and was actually originally developed for making wallpaper!

Block printing is similar to woodcut printmaking but a bit easier to work with because it has no grain to consider like wood.

This will also be the first time we have gold ink to play with!
