In this two-day workshop participants will get a brief introduction to relief printmaking and have an opportunity to carve and print their own design. We will explore some of the potential materials for relief printing blocks and experiment with using them on both paper and fabric. Block printing is a simple process that can easily be done at home and requires a minimum of materials and space. It is a great way to make your own cards, repurpose old textiles or give a new look to your wardrobe. Participants will be encouraged to bring their own pieces of clothing or fabric to reimagine.
