Block printing is a super fun and creative medium that has a very quick learning curve. In this class you will learn to begin printmaking by carving into soft rubber stamp blocks using a Speedball linoleum cutter. With simple carving tools and your design sensibilities, you can carve a custom set of stamps to add personality and zip to stationery, textiles and more. Perfect for holiday cards, wrapping paper, scrapbooks, cards, art journaling, and mixed media, hand-carved rubber stamps help you add your own unique mark to your work.
We will be working with 4 X 6 carving blocks. Please bring in an image that you would like to try out. The simpler the better. The block is easily cut into pieces so you may bring a 4 x 6 image or 2 smaller images. I will show you how to easily transfer the images to the blocks. I will also have images to share.
Feel free to bring any cotton textile if you would like to try fabric printing. A t-shirt or dish towel works well. I will have copy paper and card stock for you.
Your ticket price includes take home materials of a Linoleum cutting set and an extra 4 x 6 rubber carving block to get you started at home. I will also share a full materials list with links after the class.
