Wall Art Block Printing Play
Need a dose of loose creative play? In this 3-hour workshop, we’ll use the Gingerly Press collection of vintage metal & wood type, ornaments and image blocks and an array of ink colors to print multiple one-off art prints in various small standard frame sizes. Instead of traditional typesetting with composing sticks, we'll use the playful stamping technique that I use to freely "sketch" ideas on my vintage proofing presses for a fun loose creative play session!
