DIY Carved Sketchbook Stamps

Learn how to create a custom Linocut sketchbook cover with celebrated artist Alan Li! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create your own custom linocut design to print onto a kraft paper sketchbook cover and fine art paper. You will be guided step-by-step through the process, from designing and carving your lino block to making your final prints. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a unique sketchbook, fine art prints, your custom stamp, and the knowledge to set up your own printmaking space at home. Beginners are very welcome! Your design can be anything you like, so feel free to bring along your own photos, sketches, or drawings for inspiration. We’ll be working with a 4×6 inch lino block, so your design will need to fit within those dimensions. All printmaking materials will be provided. Who is this for? Journalers, artists, and anyone looking for a relaxed, low-key creative workshop. Please note: Eventbrite tickets incur additional fees.
