Event Overview

In this "make and take" block printing workshop, participants will learn the basics of block printing.


Students will learn how to design, transfer their design and carve a rubber block that can be used to stamp unique designs onto paper and textiles.


Students will also learn the basics of how to mix and apply the ink to their blocks and will have the knowledge to create their own stamps at home.


All materials will be provided, including print outs of design ideas (feel free to bring your sketches to use to make your stamp if you prefer).


Each student will leave creating the following:



  • A unique rubber block stamp that can be reused at home

  • A handprinted tea towel

  • Greeting cards

  • Gift tags


This class is designed for total beginners to the art of block printing - no experience necessary.

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST

Hi - I am the creative force behind Ceramicscapes (an art and clay studio) and have been a member of the Colorado Potters Guild since 2008.

I have a BFA in Art with a concentration in ceramics and have been working with clay since 2001. I also teach art to middle and high school students at a charter school in For Collins, CO. Although Fort Collins is an hour north, I travel frequently to Denver to visit family and friends.

I have previously taught after school kid's clay classes at a Denver Public School, The Art Student's League of Denver and Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass, CO. In addition, I have also taught basic clay "crafty happy hours" at client's homes.
