With Kadi Franson

 What feelings does this time of year bring up for you? Energized by colorful leaves, saddened by shortening days, cozy in the crisp air, reflective over ancestral lineages, haunted? Dip into the fall feels with this workshop, where we will listen to creepy music while we create prints that celebrate the spooky season.

In this workshop, you will learn how to hand-carve and print a mono-color block print (4x6”) from start to finish. By the end of the session, everyone will have a reusable block and at least one final print to take home.Reference images will be available. Feel free to bring your own references and sketches as well. The workshop fee covers all material costs. All skill levels welcome!

In this class you will learn how to identify, measure and cut reed to make your own bread basket.
