Wooden Block Printing with Cathy

Join us as we learn how to work with traditional hand-carved, wooden printing blocks from India. Participants will learn about the ink, how to set up a printing surface, and how to clean the blocks after they're used. After learning the techniques, we’ll focus primarily on working with paper, and materials will be available to assemble cards or make book marks and ephemera. We’ll also discuss ideas for other printing projects including working with fabrics.

There will be many printing blocks to choose from and your instructor will share some of her vintage blocks. You'll be able to pick blocks associated with a theme like fish, plants, or animals, or mix and match. Participants will leave with new works on paper as well as the knowledge of how to do this at home on paper or fabric.
Dress for mess! Avoid sadness by wearing clothes you don't mind getting a bit of ink-stain, or bring an apron.
