TINY LINO PRINT SERIES - SEED PACKETS with Kadi Franson

Sunday, September 27th * 1:00pm - 4:00pm * Ages: 15+

Many plants are going to seed—but where to put them all? In hand-printed packets, of course! In this workshop, we will make small block prints to stamp onto seed packets; a handmade touch for labeling seeds for next year’s planting cycle, giving as gifts, or contributing to a free little seed library. This will be a fun, enjoyable process that will provide a low-stakes introduction to linocut printmaking.

Everyone will leave with their own set of stamped packets and a custom block print to continue using at home. Feel free to bring a few photo references or drawings of the plant you will be depicting to use in your designs.

The workshop fee covers all material costs. Beginners welcome!

Alternative Processes in Reduction Printmaking (2 day workshop)

with Valerie Mann

November 7th to 8th, 2026

$150 More Info

Saturday November 7th and Sunday November 8th 

1:00pm til 5:30pm 

Students will use power tools, hand tools, nails, screwdrivers, and any tool they choose to make marks on the surface of the plywood printing plate. We will start out by printing a solid color, then gradually reduce the surface of our plate with our mark-making techniques and print contrasting colors with each reduction layer.

Students will come away with a small edition of prints from this class. Abstract imagery works best for this process, especially for students' first time experimenting with it. Students just need to bring a sense of adventure.

Please note our print studio is in a historic building with stairs.
