Block Printing Party Kathy Dennin- Meagher, Raye of Light Studio Friday, May 2 10 am – 1 pm Limit 10 $65 Join us when Raye of Light Studio brings the art of block printing to the garden. We will learn how to take an image, transfer it on a soft block, carve it and print with it! The new "soft blocks" are easier than those high school art class memories recall. Choose from one of our simple images to carve or draw one of your own. We will learn the process and then print to our hearts content. You will leave with lots of notes, a new learned process, and your block to print more at home. We will be using speedball inks and all art materials and instructions for this 3 hour class are included. Dress accordingly. Participants will receive a 20% discount on plants they purchase the day of the class. Information Source: Inland Bays Garden Center | eventbrite
