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. 

(class size: 10, super hands on)

 

What to bring

- ez carve (post card size per person) - guards for tables - carvers - screenprinting ink - brayers - pencils - ink pads (small masonite boards) - cards, card stock, scrap paper
