PRINT WORKSHOP
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 28. 2024
10 AM - 5 PM
SOLD OUT
JOIN ME IN MY HOME TOWN…
I invite you to join me and other fun, like minded makers and artists for this structured, yet playful and pressure-free workshop.
My goal this day is to plant as many creative seeds in you as possible and arm you with useful printing skills.
I have been hosting this popular workshop for over twelve years now, sharing my favorite printing techniques; block printing and stenciling. I don’t really seem to ever get tired of doing this. These two techniques are rather simple to do, yet they are so effective and can create beautiful designs and print patterns.
In the workshop I will talk you through my approach, share my techniques and a couple of demos but most importantly I will support you to explore and play. This workshop celebrates the process rather than perfect results and absolute beginners and seasoned artists are all welcome.. no prior skills necessary.
I have found a nice airy, modern space for us in my charming hometown of Montclair, New Jersey. We will spend the morning printing on paper and at lunch time we will enjoy a delicious vegetarian meal.at the workshop space. We continue the afternoon printing on different fabric products and textiles.
I have gathered good materials to print on and I have planned some new projects that I really look forward to explore together with you.
It has been a minute since I have hosted an all day workshop in the Us and so many of you have reached out to me and inquired about it. So, I am happy to finally being able to comply. So I do hope you can join me this Saturday in September for this rare opportunity for my one day print workshop, no other dates planned in the near future.

A great printing kit with tools materials and projects to use in the workshop during the day and that is yours to keep, so you can continue to print and make projects at home. Retail value $95.
