Block Print Workshop @ Bedford Studio

​BLOK PARTI is coming to Bedford Studio. Spend an evening in the West Village learning the art form of wood block printing, and print your own canvas pouch and a set of stationery to take home.

​Wood block printing is a traditional technique where hand-carved wooden blocks are pressed into ink to build repeat patterns.

​During this workshop you’ll choose from our signature hand-carved wooden blocks, pick your color palette, and print onto a cotton canvas pouch, stitched by hand in our studio. It’s the kind of pouch that ends up holding your makeup, pens or travel bits, and yours will be the only one exactly like it. A chance to slow down and make something by hand with others.

​We’ll guide you through every step, from your first stamp to a finished piece.

​What You’ll Make

• ​Your own hand block-printed canvas pouch

• ​A set of greeting cards to share. Birthdays, thank yous, or a note just because.
