Lo-fi Printing: Block Carving
This is a quickie lesson in the basics: how to draw your outlined design in a way that facilitates positive & negative space (where the ink will go, and where it won't), reversing letters in your designs so that they read correctly, and super duper lo-fi DIY inking and printing.
Come with simple designs in mind-letters, shapes, whatever you like-we'll carve it out and print it up. No need to bring anything; we supply all the materials.
