February Pull a Print

Every Third Tuesday | Drop-In Style | 5:30pm - 7:30pm
Join us at the Prairie for Pull a Print,
a free monthly screenprinting activity open to all! This come-and-go
event invites community members to bring a personal item—like a shirt,
tote bag, tea towel, or other flat fabric—and screenprint it with one
unique design created for that month. Keep in mind the design is
approximately 12 inches x 12 inches and we use dark inks to print.

Holiday Scene Collagraph

Using a variety of found and discarded materials, participants will construct their own collagraph plates, experimenting with textures, shapes, and techniques to bring a holiday scene to life—think cozy fireplaces, snowy landscapes, cheerful snowmen, or sparkling Christmas trees. You’ll learn beginner-friendly methods using an x-acto knife and paperboard, as well as how to properly ink and print your design using our printing press.
