​Spend an evening in the West Village, learning the art form of wood block printing and create a set of stationery and cotton canvas pouch to take home.

​A chance to slow down and make something by hand with others while enjoying Bedford Studio's cosy space.

​Workshop Details

​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 some hand pressed cotton paper cards and a cotton canvas pouch. We'll guide you through every step, from your first stamp to a finished piece.
