About this Event
Bookmark Block Printing Workshop with Emily Cooper Creations
Come join us for a block party at Roebling Books and Coffee! Emily Cooper is leading a block printing workshop where you can learn to carve and print your own block, buy a coffee or tea (and maybe a book), and meet some new friends. This event promises a cozy atmosphere with plenty of creativity and community spirit. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to learn something new and possibly gain a new hobby. Hurry - spots are limited!
What can you expect at this workshop?
Everyone will be supplied with a carving block and a borrowed set of tools they can use to complete the block printing process. Emily will explain the steps of the process to everyone and then walk around and give one-on-one instruction as needed. There will be two designs to choose from, as pictured below (Maya Angelou "Still I Rise" design/quote or Amanda Gorman "There is always light" design/quote). Participants will print their blocks onto poetry pages by Angelou and Gorman.
After everyone has carved their blocks, Emily will lead the printing process. Aprons will be supplied. We will use water-based ink that can be washed out of clothing.
After printing, you will leave with your carved block, your finished print, and information on continuing block printing as a hobby.
Please note that all participants must sign a liability waiver at the beginning of class. Emily will teach proper carving techniques, but block carving tools are sharp and accidents can happen. By signing the waiver you agree to not hold Emily Cooper Creations, LLC and/or Roebling Books and Coffee liable for any damages or injury.
