• Ink your block and print your note cards or prints
You’re encouraged to bring in a few simple pictures or sketches of images you might like to work with. Keep in mind, our printing blocks will be 4"x6".

What you’ll get out of this workshop:

• All supplies necessary at your fingertips (block, tools, ink, papers)
• Hands on practice of the basic steps of block printing at home
• 4-6 printed note cards w/ envelopes
(Prints and small posters are also an option as well)
• 1 4”x6” rubber block that you can continue using for more prints on your own time
• Instructions, tips and tricks throughout the workshop by a certified teaching artist.
