Rooted in Self Love: Linocut Journal Workshop with Femme Prints

Join local Baltimore-based printmaker, MC Carey of Femme Prints, for a self-love and radical self-compassion printmaking workshop!
About this Event

Valentines’ day is typically centered on love between two romantic partners and filled with moments to spend money and quality time focused on others. MC wants to flip the holiday on its head and make Self-Love and Radical Self Compassion the heart of the Valentines Day Season. Participants will join MC in the designing, carving, and printing of their very own Self-Love journal in the gorgeous upstairs workshop space of Bmore’s best plant shop, B. Willow!

Surrounded by lovely foliage and florals, participants will create their own images of self-love and compassion rooted in natural symbolism. Plants are medicine for the soul helping guide us in times of love, distress, grief, joy, and more. Participants will lean on plant medicine and stories of self-love while they learn how to carve into their very own linoleum blocks!

Each participant will leave with one linoleum block carving, at least 3 prints and one lined journal with their linoleum block printed on the cover. Participants will be provided with all materials necessary to complete the project but are encouraged to come prepared with ideas for their journal cover.

Masks are encouraged for this workshop.
