Block Printing Mini Workshop

For ages 8-18, In this workshop you will learn how to design and carve block prints, this ancient art has been used for making wall paper, textiles, and beautiful prints thoughout history.  Each student will take home a set of hand stamped cards, a collection of limited edition reduction print art masterpieces, and 4-6 printed napkins made with a repetitive pattern block of their own design, along with some studio swag.  A small snack will be provided.

Each student will work with rubber blocks as this is easier and safer than wood or linoleum for young hands. Though your child will be working with sharp tools this is a very safe medium, small pokes and cuts have happened from time to time, but never more serious than a small prick or break to the skin.  I have a small first aid kit jsut incase we need it, but in all my years teaching this medium I have only had 2-3 students who got minerly poked out of the hundreds who have worked in this medium.
