Lunar New Year Block Printing Workshop (All Ages)

Celebrate the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Horse through playful, hands-on printmaking. Participants will design and carve soft foam printing plates inspired by zodiac horse imagery and celestial constellations, then ink and hand-print their designs using brayers and water-based inks. Create multiple prints to take home and share. 

Participants will explore introductory printmaking, focusing on pattern-making, symbolism, and visual storytelling. They will gain hands-on experience with accessible tools. They will leave with original prints and a deeper understanding of the printmaking process.

No experience needed. This hands-on workshop is open to adults, and children ages 7+ with an adult—families welcome! All materials are provided.

– Come join us at Del Ray Artisans for interactive classes about Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM), taught by professionals from each field. The discount ticket price per child is made possible with support from the City of Alexandria through the FY2026 Annual Arts Program Grant.

Instructor: Morgan Parr. Class size: up to 15 participants. Register by February 14.
