Block Printing Workshop (Couples' Edition)

Celebrate connection and creativity during our Block Printing workshop: Couples' Edition! Join us for a memorable experience where you and your partner will learn to carve original designs into easy-cut linoleum. Together, you’ll experiment with texture and color to create beautiful, hand-pulled prints that reflect your shared creativity.

This workshop embraces the beauty of unexpected marks while introducing foundational printing and gradient ink techniques. To help set the mood and celebrate your love, Artspace will provide a bottle of Prosecco and light snacks as part of the experience. You’ll leave with multiple printed editions of your artwork and a deeper sense of connection, along with the satisfaction of creating something together. This workshop is perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike.

Tickets are sold in pairs and include all materials and wine. Participants are also welcome to bring their beverage of choice.
