REPEATING LINOCUT PATTERN PRINTMAKING WORKSHOP

Create your own custom gift wrap for this holiday season while learning how to design and print repeating pattern linocut tiles! 

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23

2-4 PM

In this workshop, we will learn the basics of designing, carving, and printing linoleum tiles on paper. Creating repeating patterns allows you to make one small linoleum block that you can print over and over again, creating large seamless designs. This technique can be used to create custom textiles, upholstery, wallpapers, gift wrap and more!  Each participant will be provided with linoleum, carving tools, ink and paper for use during the workshop and will leave with their carved block and sheets of their own custom-printed paper to wrap up some very special holiday gifts!
