This past Sunday I held a Block Printing Studio workshop in partnership with Peace on Fifth, our local Fair Trade Shop. The focus was making Hostess gifts for all those holiday parties that you’re sure to be attending. We printed up napkins and coasters… How fun!
What I love most about teaching the printing classes is seeing what my students come up with. Sure I love printing for myself, but I can get kind of caught up in my own designs. It’s great to see what others with a different design aesthetic come up with. It is also so gratifying to see people who previously thought they weren’t artistic, suddenly discover that they are!
Here is the ever-meticulous Wendy planning her fabulous Mid-Mod design

There was paint, coffee and divine Fair Trade chocolates provided by Peace on Fifth!
Did you miss this one? There will be another on 11/24/14. We will be printingTote Bags! Sign up here.
This holiday season, don’t forget to buy handmade!
