Pride Flag Block Printing with Emily Cooper Creations at Roebling Books

Pride Flag Block Printing Workshop with Emily Cooper Creations

Come join us for a block party at Roebling Books and Coffee! Emily Cooper is leading a pride flag block printing workshop where you can learn to carve and print your own block, buy a coffee or tea (and maybe a book), and meet some new friends on a summer afternoon. This event promises a cozy atmosphere with plenty of creativity and community spirit. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to learn something new and possibly gain a new hobby. Hurry - spots are limited!

What can you expect at this workshop?

Everyone will be supplied with a carving block and a borrowed set of tools they can use to complete the block printing process. Emily will explain the steps of the process to everyone and then walk around and give one-on-one instruction as needed. One side of the block will have the Marsha P. Johnson image (see picture below) ready to carve and the other side of the block will be blank. Pride means different things to different people, so feel free to come with a simple design or words you would like to transfer to your block. Please make sure your design is less than 4"x5" vertically or 5"x4" horizontally so it fits on the block and the flag. If you have any questions, email ZW1pbHljb29wZXJjcmVhdGlvbnMgfCBnbWFpbCAhIGNvbQ== to make sure your design will work. We have very limited time in class to discuss this, so please come prepared.

After everyone has carved their blocks, Emily will lead the printing process. Aprons will be supplied. We will use water-based ink that can be washed out of clothing.

After printing, you will leave with your carved block, your finished pride flag, and information on continuing block printing as a hobby.

Please note that all participants must sign a liability waiver at the beginning of class. Emily will teach proper carving techniques, but block carving tools are sharp and accidents can happen. By signing the waiver you agree to not hold Emily Cooper Creations, LLC and/or Roebling Books and Coffee liable for any damages or injury.
