About this Event
Transform a simple block into a beautiful pattern in this satisfying 3-hour workshop! You'll design and carve your own printing block, then use it to create a repeating pattern on paper to be used as endpapers in a book, wrapping paper for a present, or just to have patterned paper!
Whether you're drawn to geometric patterns, botanical motifs, or quirky illustrations, you'll create a one-of-a-kind pattern that brings artistry to the page!
What You'll Learn:
- Design principles for repeating patterns and motifs
- Carving techniques for clean, crisp prints
- Block printing
- Pattern registration and spacing strategies
What You'll Make: Two block-printed sheets of paper featuring your original pattern design. Your carved block comes home with you too—use it for future paper projects, on tote bags or bandanas, or anything else you want patterned!
What's Included: Carving block, carving tools, printing ink, and expert instruction.
Perfect For: Printmakers wanting to try pattern making, bookbinders wanting to customize their books, or crafters seeking a satisfying project. Wear clothes that can get inky. Bring design ideas or sketches to test out!
Class size limited to 4 participants for personalized attention.
