Join us for an intimate and hands-on Block Printing afternoon where creativity meets community. In this guided session, each attendee will design and customize their own tote bag using traditional block printing techniques. Whether you’re drawn to bold patterns, minimal motifs, or playful layering, this workshop is about experimenting, expressing, and creating something uniquely yours!

You’ll be introduced to the basics of block printing, including: composition; ink application; pattern building; and the space to bring your vision to life. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind tote bag designed by YOU.

This is an opportunity to slow down, work with your hands, and connect with others in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Light snacks and tea will be provided to keep the atmosphere cozy and nourishing as you create.

All materials are included and no prior experience is needed, just a willingness to explore. Just bring yourself and your creativity!
