Back by request: the Block Printing on Linen workshop!

Niche is priveliged to have artist Kristin Loganbill lead a second block printing workshop on Wednesday, July 22 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 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 what and where to buy the materials to do this at home.

This workshop is limited to 10 people, minimum age 16, please. Click here to register or come by the gallery.

Comments from a past attendees:

“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!”

“The class was great! I made the small bird and paired it with Kristin’s large bird for my towel.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed this class. I’m waiting for Kristin’s supply list so so can try my hand at doing this at home!”
