About the Workshop:
In this virtual workshop taught by instructor Elaine G. Chu, participants will design and sketch an object or geometric shape and use a clever transfer technique before carving the image from a slab of rubber.
We’ll print on both paper and fabric. Each person will print a set of cards and also a drawstring bag and zip pouch when ordering the supply kit.
Participants can also gather their own tea towel, cloth napkin or T-shirt if they’d like to print additional or different items.
The instructor will also demonstrate how to construct a sewn booklet, using one of the printed cards as a cover.
Follow along and make one or two of your own!
By the end of the workshop , participants will have the knowledge and skills to create new designs on their own!
