my recent block printing class at Wing & Clover* was a really fun group with some serious natural talent! believe it or not the red and dark blue circular prints above were both made with a carrot, which is one of the practice exercises i use to work our way up to the rubber carving blocks. you may not realize at first but they are actually the same block, just spaced differently which changes everything. i love how much can be done with the simplest of materials and tools, and this class really got it.
*the new fall workshop schedule has just been posted and there is so much good stuff! paper cutting, lace knitting, digital story telling, furniture painting…
