Intro to Block Printing: Techniques for Printing at Home
Spend a creative Saturday afternoon with Emma and Josh (Boring House) in the studio for Intro to Block Printing! Attendees are taught how to design and carve a linoleum block using a variety of tools, and learn multiple methods for printmaking at home using materials you already have.
You will have the opportunity to make multiple copies of your print, and trade with fellow classmates to take home a stack of new artwork!
This intro workshop is about three hours long, and is well suited for any skill set. If there is enough interest shown on the waitlist, we will add additional sessions, so join the list if you didn't secure a spot!
Our studio is around the corner from Mojo Coffee Gallery, and attendees are welcome to bring in drinks and treats to enjoy while we work.
All materials are included in the registration fee.

FAQ:
What if I don't feel confident being able to create a design to carve?
No worries, we understand feeling stuck. We have some designs ready for students to build off of to get the ball rolling.
What if I'm a visual learner or I need written instructions?
We demo the process and are there to answer questions + show techniques again. We also provide a step-by-step note sheet for attendees to reference.
Is it actually easy to do?
Yes! We always tell people that printmaking is just like using a giant stamp! As with all new things, there will be a learning curve but that's what makes the class so fun.
Do you do private classes/parties?
Yes! Reach out to us via email (boringhousegoods@gmail.com) and we can cook up a custom experience for you and your group.
