Hand-Printed Holidays: Stamped Gift Tags & Wrap

✨ Hand-Printed Holidays: Stamped Gift Tags & Wrap

Join us for a fun and relaxed class on the art of printmaking, where you’ll design and carve your own block stamp to create hand-printed gift tags and wrapping paper for the holidays. We’ll guide you through each step — sketching and transferring your design, using carving tools to reveal your custom art, and experimenting with inking and printing techniques to get crisp, beautiful results.

This workshop is designed for anyone completely new to printmaking or those who have tried it before and want some fresh new tips. You’ll leave with a lovely hand-printed tag or gift wrap, perfect for adding a personal touch to your holiday!

📌 Note:

This event is designed specifically for adults 18+ only.

What You’ll Learn:

✔️ Safe and effective carving techniques using linocut tools, to produce clean results and give your artwork a charming handmade feel
✔️ Inking methods for crisp, consistent impressions
✔️ Hand-printing techniques for both tags and wrapping paper
