Pints & Prints: Upcycled Tote Bags

Join artist Madison Laidlaw for a fun-filled event where you can sip on your favorite brews while getting crafty. Let's transform one of the many branded tote bags you got from that thing that one time with the power of printmaking.

In this class you will learn how to design and carve a rubber stamp that we will be printing on fabric patches to jazz up those boring bags. Your ticket includes carving/printing supplies, 2 hours instruction, 4-5 fabric patches, and a your first beverage. You will leave this workshop with your hand printed textile, your carved stamp and the knowledge to keep on printing.

No art or craft experience required. Just come with an idea, your bag in need of a makeover, and your crafty enthusiasm.

Info: Come a little early to get your included beverage before class starts. This brewery has a selection of beers, wine, cider and non-alcoholic beverages like their house kombucha. You can check their menu here. https://www.urbanrest.com/on-tap/brewery/
