There is something so special about the results you get when printing fabric and paper with hand carved printing blocks.
It's a style that can't be replicated any other way. You will learn to design, carve, and print your very own blocks. Then you will print them on different fabrics and Japanese papers and use those pieces to create a hand stitched collage art piece.
All skill levels are welcome. Students Receive: Supply List, Design Templates, and Student Handouts, Some Supplies

Artist, Teacher, Lifelong Student
As soon as she was old enough to safely hold a needle, April's grandmother taught her the skills of sewing, quilting, knitting, crocheting, lace making, and embroidery. These days, April finds herself exploring the modern and innovative avenues of mixed media and textile arts. Her love for connecting with the community has lead her to teaching, which allows her to share the knowledge she gains on her artistic journey.
