Block Printing on Fabric

with Erika Busse

Thursday, June 18 | 1 – 3pm

In this 2 hour course, Erika will teach you how to make a relief block and print it from start to finish. This is a great intro course to anyone looking to learn more about printmaking or for a fun experience with art to take home. Relief printing is a reduction process, carving out an image onto a stamp. Erika will teach you how to make a design, transfer it to the block, and how to carve it. Then you will get to print your block onto tea towels with her guidance. You will make a unique work of art and get to take home your tea towel and block.

Erika Busse moved to Asheville in 2017 after graduating from the University of Alabama with degrees in art and business. She is a small business owner of her full time artist business, sharing mountain inspired painting and printmaking with the world. She has been teaching plein air painting classes since 2021.
