Block Printing for Beginners

During this workshop participants will learn the basics of block printing. After picking from the two provided designs, each person will use a set of borrowed tools and learn the safe way to carve their block. Emily will walk around and provide one-on-one instruction as needed. After carving, participants will learn how to ink up the block and print it. They will leave with their carved block and finished print. For those wishing to continue block printing as a hobby, all tools and supplies can be purchased at Plaza Artist Materials.
