Workshop Option 2
Learn To Carve & Block Print
Duration: 3 hours | $139
Take your creativity to the next level in this 3-hour block print workshop! Learn how to carve your own design onto a lino block and transform it into a unique, hand-printed tote bag or t-shirt. We’ll cover the basics before diving into carving your chosen design—bring your own idea or use one of our designs!
Perfect for anyone ready to explore the art of block printing, this workshop will leave you with a custom tote or tee and a new creative skill.
Workshop Option 3
Day Long Block Printing Basics + Tools
Duration: 5 hours | $349
Join us for the ultimate block printing experience—the first of its kind! Spend the day learning the art of block printing with Phoebe (and maybe Jonathan, too!). This in-depth workshop will guide you through every step of the process, from creating a strong block print design to carving, test printing, and bringing your ideas to life in multiple forms. No experience is necessary, all levels welcome.
You’ll carve both a sample design and your own concept, then print several projects such as a tote bag, t-shirt, tea towel, and paper (greeting cards or art print). Plus, you’ll take home your own carving tools, extra block material, and a new set of skills to continue your block printing journey.
All materials are provided, and snacks + lunch are included to keep your creativity fueled.
