Description:
Learn to block print! Block printing is an ancient process that is widely used today in both paper and fabric applications. In this workshop we will draw from what inspires us, carve our own blocks, and learn how to print multiples on paper. No prior experience with art or drawing skills are needed. This 2-hour workshop is ideal for older teens 16+ and adults and will be offered twice, on 8/1 & 8/8.
Registration is required, opens two weeks before each workshop. Both block printing workshops are the same content and space is limited; please select one session date to register for. If full, call Pinney Library information desk at 608-224-7100 to be placed on a short waiting list in case of cancellations.
