Block Printing

Discover the fun of printmaking in this hands-on block printing activity for families. Participants will create their own colourful prints by exploring simple shapes, patterns and textures, using prepared printing blocks and a variety of colours.
During the two-hour activity, participants will learn how to ink and press their blocks to create repeated designs on paper or other surfaces. They can experiment with layering, pattern-making and colour combinations to develop their own unique prints.
A fun and creative activity for families to enjoy together, participants will have the freedom to experiment, mix and match designs, and create their own collection of handmade prints to take home.
