Join us for this fun, exploratory printing class that will teach you how to use fresh botanicals to create prints. Assorted leaves and flowers will be inked and pressed to make original compositions. We provide all necessary supplies, but feel free to bring in your own gathered leaves and flowers for that special touch. Pre-pressed botanicals that aren't completely dry work best.

Block Printing - Art Partner
Learn the basics of block printing one-on-one in this introductory art partner course.
Block printing is a type of relief printing that utilizes a carved block made of wood, linoleum, softcut rubber, or vinyl. The block is rolled up with ink and printed onto a surface using pressure applied either by hand or a printing press. This crash course includes lessons on carving (into softcut), inking, and printing. Demonstrations will be done with pre-carved blocks with time allowed for you to carve your own block. This course qualifies you for open studio hours so you can continue with your block printing adventures!
