Ages 14 to adult

Block Printing for Beginners is a fun and relaxing 3 hour in-person workshop in which students will learn the basics of block printing. This workshop is open to artists and non-artists of all levels, ages 14 to adult.  The class begins with a brief introduction to the materials, tools, and safety, then students will learn how to transfer their design or photo onto an "easy to carve" block. Next, everyone will be shown how to carve using a traditional basic carving tool.  Participants will explore how to print, and will print three pieces of art during class, followed by the opportunity to see everyone's new artwork.
