Intro to Block Printing Workshop

Participants will learn how to transfer an image to a block, carve it out, and make prints of the image. The instructor, Patrik, will also introduce alternative materials that can be used and focus on how to block print using reused materials. Participants can bring their own simple drawing to carve or choose a simple image provided to make one small printing block from- no time will be available during the workshop to create a design.

If you bring your own design to carve, it must be a black and white image no larger than 4"x3". Avoid images with too many details and thin lines.

This workshop is appropriate for ages 18+ only.
