Art & Alpacas! Join us for class outside where you can hand feed the alpacas. Block printing is a unique and versatile medium that has been used for centuries as a means of printmaking and textile design. Join Nina and Patrick for a workshop at Lulu's Barn to create an original block print of your own among the alpacas! You will learn how to transfer your vision onto a carving medium, carve the block and then use it to print a repetitive & decorative design onto a cotton tea towel to be gifted to someone you love or used in your home for years to come! Class if best suited to those ages 12+, as sharp carving tools will be used in the process. Please bring a 4 x 6" photo or an original drawing of your own of what you are hoping to carve (*please don't plan on copying artwork made by others*), plus a little patience and a lot of creativity! Bold, simple and beautiful shapes work best to start :) We're so excited to work with you!
