PRINTING CLASS: Block Printing on Clothing

Have a stain on your favorite shirt that you need to cover up? Wanting to add a little extra flair to your favorite pair of jeans? Come learn block printing basics and print onto your clothes with Alessia! 

In this class you will learn the basics of block printing: 

• creating a design 
• carving your block
• inking and getting a clean print 

Please bring your own garment(s) to print on and come prepared with an idea of what you’d like to print! The blocks we’ll be using are 4”x 6” - feel free to bring in a drawing or print-out and I’ll help you transfer it into your block. Or come with just an idea and I’ll help you translate it into something printable! 

Use our communal supplies in class, or snag a block printing kit for 20% off if you buy it with your class ticket. 

Note: Textured fabrics like corduroy or knitted items are difficult to print on, please bring something that’s nice and smooth (i.e. cotton t-shirt, denim, etc.)
