TINY LINO PRINT SERIES - SEED PACKETS with Kadi Franson

Sunday, September 27th * 1:00pm - 4:00pm * Ages: 15+

Many plants are going to seed—but where to put them all? In hand-printed packets, of course! In this workshop, we will make small block prints to stamp onto seed packets; a handmade touch for labeling seeds for next year’s planting cycle, giving as gifts, or contributing to a free little seed library. This will be a fun, enjoyable process that will provide a low-stakes introduction to linocut printmaking.

Everyone will leave with their own set of stamped packets and a custom block print to continue using at home. Feel free to bring a few photo references or drawings of the plant you will be depicting to use in your designs.

The workshop fee covers all material costs. Beginners welcome!
