Block Printing: From Design to Textile (ages 13-17) with Haley Searcy (4 weeks) - Spring 2
Date:
Saturdays • May 16 - June 6 | 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Ages: Attendee must be between 13 and 17 years of age
Dive into the world of block printing! In this hands-on 4-week class, students will learn to design, carve, and print their own original patterns using erasers and linoleum blocks. Each week, we’ll explore different aspects of the block printing process, from sketching ideas and carving techniques to creating prints on fabric. By the end of the course, students will leave with a collection of their own stamps, printed textiles (bandanas and tote bags), and the skills to continue their block printing journey at home. No prior experience is required!
Supplies:
- Sketchbook or blank paper for drawing and planning your designs
- Pencils for sketching
- Pens, markers, or any other drawing tools you like to use
- Studio rag(s)
- Apron, smock, or clothes you don’t mind getting ink on
- Note: All carving tools, blocks, inks, brayers, and printing materials will be provided. Just bring whatever helps you generate ideas and sketch your designs!
Ages 13-17: $100.00
