Upcycle Your Own Item! Learn to Carve & Block Print! Thursday, December 4, 6-8 p.m. Have you ever wanted to print your own designs on shirts and bags?!

Jeff de Boer has made an entire career out of crafting tiny plate armor. He's compelled by the idea of the underdog finding an edge; something so small being so well-protected.

Join us for a hands-on morning of printmaking, reflection, and creative exploration inspired by the exhibition "Eduardo Chillida: Convergence." Explore Chillida’s powerful use of line, shape, and form through guided prompts and conversation before creating your own linocut print. Drawing on personal memories, you’ll consider how abstract forms can hold meaning and emotion. Then, carve, ink, and press your design, transforming reflection into visual expression. Participants will also complete a brief artist statement to accompany their print, engaging with multiple facets of the artistic process. All materials provided.
