Intro to Block Printing and Personal Symbolism

$200.00
sold out

Personal symbols visually represent ideas, values, or beliefs that are important to us. When we weave symbols into pattern design, we have the ability to tell a story, evoke emotions, and build connections.

“Each design element – every motif, every color, every texture, and the way we arrange them – these are the words and sentences of a visual language.” ~Anne LaFollette, surface pattern designer

In this introductory workshop, Tiernee Schatz, an artist and board certified art therapist will guide you through identifying your personal symbolism and the basic skills of creating your own block prints for hand-printing.

Located minutes away from Cedarburg’s vibrant downtown community at the restored Blacksmith Shop on the Wisconsin Quilt and Fiber Arts Museum Campus.
