Breathe life into your old clothing by creating and adding beautiful block prints! You'll get to make two 4x6 inch designs and carve them into blocks before inking them up with various colors and hand-pressing them onto your clothing.
What to Bring: T-shirts, bandanas, and other fabrics are NOT included in this course. We're hoping that people use whatever is in their closet rather than buy new! The best fabrics to print on are tightly woven and smooth (like cotton). While canvas tote bags are a theoretically fun option, they do not take ink well. You can bring as many pieces to print on as you'd like!
What You'll Make: Two hand-carved blocks that can be reused time and time again
What You'll Take Home: Super cool clothing with your own printed designs, and your lino blocks!
Ages: This course is for ages 14+
