Design and create your own fabric through a block printing technique, and use this fabric to build a one-of-a-kind tote bag. In this workshop you will carve into linoleum blocks to create your own stamp. You will then use this stamp to print directly onto fabric creating a unique printed textile. Finally, you will learn to sew your own tote bag using this fabric.

Students will have a small period of time for a snack/lunch break while their prints dry, so please feel free to bring something to eat and drink outside, if you’d like.

This class is appropriate for ages 14 years and older.
