Hand-Printed Holiday: Make Your Own Wrapping Paper, a hands-on workshop that introduces participants to block printing through pattern, color, repetition, layering, scale, and composition.
Using hand-carved stamps, provided by the instructor, participants will create distinctive wrapping paper while learning foundational concepts in printmaking and surface design. Guided demonstrations and open-ended exploration make the workshop suitable for beginners while offering experienced artists opportunities to investigate composition, color, and pattern in greater depth. Creating wrapping paper- something meant to be given away frees participants to experiment, play, and create with abandon.
The instructor will demonstrate essential techniques while participants explore the distinctive qualities of handmade printing. Variations in pressure, paint, and alignment give each impression movement, texture, and individuality.
Participants will leave with a finished roll of hand-printed wrapping paper and an introduction to concepts that connect printmaking with textiles, illustration, and surface pattern design. For ages 18+.
