Autumn Prints Workshop: Relief Printmaking

Class Description:

Celebrate the fall season with a hands-on introduction to the art of relief printmaking! In this festive workshop, you’ll learn how to design, carve, and print your very own pumpkin-inspired prints using beginner-friendly, easy-to-carve blocks. Think of it like creating your own custom stamp — one you can use again and again.

Your instructor will guide you step-by-step through the process:
✨ Sketch a simple pumpkin or autumn design (bring your owns simple ideas if you’d like!)
✨ Carve your block with provided tools
✨ Ink and press your stamp to make a series of bold, handmade prints
✨ Take home your finished block and the prints you create

By the end of the class, you’ll not only have a festive set of art prints to share with friends and family — but also your very own reusable stamp for future projects like cards, gift tags, or seasonal décor.

All supplies are provided, but please note this workshop does involve the use of sharp tools. Beginners are welcome — no prior experience required!
