Come play at Ply Studio in October as you create your very own functional block printed art!

Printmaker Christina Anastassopoulos of Fetch and Bloom will lead you through the basics of printmaking, stamping and block printing in this amazing 2-part workshop on Wednesday, October 12th and 19th. Both sessions will begin at 6:30pm and end at 8:30pm-ish.

During this 4+ hour workshop, you will get plenty of practice and then take home a very useful and eco-conscious tote bag with matching print. 

By the end of this workshop you will have mastered the basics of carving images in reverse, and have a good understanding of inking up to create surface patterns on fabric. You will make your mark on fabric using wood carving gouges and oil ink. You will be introduced to carving basics using a rubber plate to carve into and learn how to leverage the negative and positive spaces within an image.  

Level: Beginner. There is no prerequisite for this workshop. 

Your registration fee includes:

  • 4+ hours of guided expertise from Christina; 
  • Beautifully curated supplies are yours to keep, including:
    • Speedball Block printing starter kit which includes 1.25oz (37ml) Black Water-Soluble Block Printing Ink; #49 Soft Rubber Pop-In Brayer; Lino Handle with #1, #2, and #5 Lino Cutters; 4 x 6-inch Speedy-Carve block; 1 unbleached cotton canvas tote; Professional heavy-weight paper for your printed artwork.
