LUAG Community Day: Holiday Card Stamp Workshop
December 9, 2023 1:00PM
LUAG Main Galleries
Join us for an introduction to block printing as you learn to design, carve, and print rubber stamps to create your own greeting cards. Designs will be sketched on paper first, transferred to a 4" X 6" block, carved by hand and printed with archival inks. Printed stamps can be tiled to create a repeat pattern, or create a variety of designs with a single block.
Please register here. Advanced registration is recommended but not required.
Recommended for ages 6 and up. Younger participants will learn how to print with foam sheets.
LUAG Community Days offer opportunities to drop-in to the galleries to explore great works of art from the LUAG collection and current exhibitions through conversation, hands-on projects, and sketching. Geared to children ages 4 to 94 and their adult companions.
Workshop will be led by artist and eductor Kayla GIbbons.
