Then, we’ll have a demonstration of how to design, carve, and print your own carved blocks. You’ll leave with a collection of your own unique prints, and a large print that includes the blocks that everyone got to create.
You’ll be making your print on sustainable paper, brought to you by our Sponsor: Monadnock paper who made this event possible!
We’ll kick things off at 7 pm on Wednesday April 23rd at Atlanta Printmakers Studio. Here’s the thing: we don’t have a ton of spots. So if you want to come, snag your spots via Eventbrite before they’re all gone!
