I am so pleased to have artist Kristin Loganbill of Moontea Artwork lead another block printing workshop at Niche! Join us on Wednesday, October 28 from 6 to 8:30pm - Kristin will instruct participants in the methods and materials needed to create a pleasing block printed design AND print two linen tea towels to take home.

Participants will learn how to draw, transfer and carve their own design onto a block, then print with non-toxic, fast drying inks. They will also be able to use Kristin’s pre-carved blocks consisting of many different designs including birds, flowers, plants, abstracts and more.

The cost is $120 per student which includes two linen tea towels, a 2x3 inch rubber block, use of all tools needed to create a finished block, a selection of many colors of fabric ink to use in class as well as light snacks and beverages.

After the workshop, participants will receive information on where to buy the materials to continue this at home.

This workshop is limited to 10 people, minimum age 16, please. To register, use this link or come by the gallery.

Comments from a past attendees:

“Honestly, I was only at class to be supportive of my partner’s desire to be creative. I’ve never considered myself artistic. But I loved being in your space. I felt supported, free to express myself, WELL FED, and, most importantly, I left with a bespoke gift I am really proud of!!!”

“It was such fun to be in your beautiful space learning a new craft. I enjoyed Kristin's style - she is very knowledgable and gave help and guidance in a relaxed way that made this new adventure very accessible. The treats and beverages were lovely. I am pleased with my napkins. I'm considering getting some supplies to continue at home and feel well prepared to do so with this first experience and things I learned. Thanks again, it was a blast.”

“I enjoyed the block printing workshop with Kristin very much. I was pleased that in the span of 2.5 hours, I and the rest of the group were able to plan a block or two, carve the design, test our blocks, make improvements, then run a sample before printing the finished piece. A success!”
