Michael Fletcher
Get inspired by the art on view in our galleries, and join exhibiting artist Michael Fletcher to create your own hand-printed tags and t-shirts.
Together, we’ll move through the full printmaking process, from carving your design onto linoleum to preparing ink and applying it evenly to your block. We’ll then use traditional hand tools to press our stamps onto T-shirts and tags, transforming everyday materials into unique pieces of functional art. Pre-carved stamps will also be available to incorporate, giving you the chance to experiment with layering and create rich, textured designs.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll take home wearable and collectible art pieces, along with a deeper understanding of printmaking tools, techniques, and applications.
