Block Printing on Tea Towels

March 27 6pm-8pm

In this block printing workshop, you’ll create customized tea towels. Katelyn will provide designs inspired by classic dishware patterns, fruit and more! You are always welcome to bring your own designs as well.

You’ll learn how to transfer a design, carve, ink, register, and print your blocks on cotton tea towels, using permanent fabric ink. Each student will receive 2 towels included with the price of the class. Additional towels are available to purchase and print for $4.00 each.

This workshop is designed for beginners and curious makers alike. All materials are provided, and you’ll leave with finished cards ready to send or keep.
