In this introduction to block printing class, you’ll create a set of hand-printed holiday greeting cards. Block printing is a printmaking process that creates beautiful, graphic images with a handmade touch. You’ll make your design, carve rubber blocks, and experiment with one- and two-color prints. Take your blocks home and continue printing custom stationery for years.
