Block printing is an ancient method of printmaking that can be used to create beautiful, decorated papers. Not only is it fun, but it’s something you can easily do at home. In this workshop, you’ll experiment with printing and use one of your own papers to cover a handmade journal.

First, we will learn how to design and carve rubber stamps that will be used to create your own decorated papers. You’ll focus on basic shapes that can be used for layering and repeating to create rich and complex patterns.

Then, you’ll select one of your papers for the cover – you can save your unused papers for other projects. You’ll make a book using a binding that allows the book to remain flat when opened, making it perfect for use as a sketchbook or journal.

You’ll receive a detailed handout and resource list for all materials we use. No previous experience is required – this is a great workshop for a beginner.

Supplies: All materials are included with registration.
