About this Event
Learn the basics of linoleum block printing while creating your own design and printing it on a cotton tote bag to take home with you! You will learn how to carve and print a linoleum block, including how to lay out your design, use linocut carving tools, and print onto fabric.
We'll get inky - wear something that can get messy.
