Advance registration required.About your Instructor: Susana McDonnell is the owner of LinoCave, a home studio based in Newton, focused on geometric pattern design and block printing on fabric and paper. She holds a BFA from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University and is a lifelong artist who has studied and taught many mediums including, but not limited to glassblowing, neon, wood, drawing, and watercolor. Despite the fact that block printing is one of the few mediums she has not formally studied, the allure of it inspires her to teach and explore it further every day. Susana draws her inspiration from a curiosity of the interaction of color, shape, line, and form when overlapped and combined. Some of the hand-carved stamps she uses are as small as one inch square and larger works can have thousands of hand-pressed impressions. She is the co-host of @printersolstice, a prompt-based printmaking campaign on Instagram that inspires printmakers around the world to create during the winter solstice and is also a Demo Artist for the historic Speedball Art Products company.In the event that a workshop is canceled due to instructor illness, inclement weather, or low enrollment, we will notify all participants via email as soon as possible and issue a full refund. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/boston/block-printing-workshop/100001993547639655 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Workshops, Art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 215.26, max: 215.26, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Boston - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Local Hand - **lat**: 42.2840741 - **long**: -71.06457569999999 - **full address**: The Local Hand, 1912-B Dorchester Avenue, Boston, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Block Printing Workshop - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/e8f483dffd6f4ad03dd3929f344b54a1e3ac6cd5643b58b39ce877bd18b604ec-rimg-w640-h480-dc45352a-gmir.jpg?v=1783778814 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Block Printing Workshop being held? - **A:** Block Printing Workshop takes place on Sun, 19 Jul, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sun, 19 Jul, 2026 at 04:00 pm at The Local Hand, 1912-B Dorchester Avenue, Boston, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Block Printing Workshop? - **A:** Block Printing Workshop is organized by The Local Hand. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Block Printing Workshop", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/e8f483dffd6f4ad03dd3929f344b54a1e3ac6cd5643b58b39ce877bd18b604ec-rimg-w640-h480-dc45352a-gmir.jpg?v=1783778814", "startDate": "2026-07-19", "endDate": "2026-07-19", "url": "https://allevents.in/boston/block-printing-workshop/100001993547639655", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "The Local Hand", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "1912-B Dorchester Avenue", "postalCode": "02124", "addressLocality": "Boston", "addressRegion": "MA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "42.2840741", "longitude": "-71.06457569999999" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "A full day printmaking workshop where you'll learn to carve your own stamps and design colorful patterns with Susana McDonnell.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-08-14", "availabilityEnds": "2026-07-19", "validFrom": "2026-08-14", "lowPrice": "215.26", "highPrice": "215.26", "price": "215.26", "url": "https://allevents.in/boston/block-printing-workshop/100001993547639655" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-08-14", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-08-14", "url": "https://allevents.in/boston/block-printing-workshop/100001993547639655", "price": "215.26", "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The Local Hand", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/the-local-hand/26997853" } ] } ] ```
