Join local textile artist Jess Kaufman for an afternoon of community & creativity while learning the skills needed to not just carve your own unique linoleum stamps, but to also get beautiful prints with them over and over on any fabric, paper or clothing item!
During this beginner-friendly class, Jess will guide you in learning how to design & carve your own unique & fun stamp designs, as well as how to transfer them to various paper & fabric surfaces to create your own print designs, tea towels, & one-of-a-kind patches you can use to mend torn or old clothing- giving them new life!
Bring an image or two that inspires you! Example: a bird image or other simple-to- carve shapes like: a seed pod, a fruit or two, a flower or leaf, etc.
The first half of class will be devoted to understanding the fundamentals of good design, layout, and carving out of any simple image you would like. We will then spend about an hour printing with your stamps, each others’, and the instructor’s collection. Each student will be provided with several sets of printing cards and fabric patches and tea towels to choose from.
All materials you need for this class are provided but please feel free to bring one (1) item of clothing to make more magic onto from your home collection. Solid, light colors work best- and nothing too textured.
No experience is needed. We look forward to hosting you!
