Print your own Tote Bag! 19 Sept

Carve your own stamp and print your design onto a tote bag, tea towel or tee! In this class, you will develop your own unique design, carve it into lino to create your own re-usable stamp and be shown how to stamp it onto a tote bag, tea towel or 100% cotton t-shirt using fabric paint.
