Oh yes! In Block Printing Made Easy, I walk you through the process of block printing from the beginning to the end. If you work alongside me, you will walk out of the class with your first hand carved stamp. Stop the videos in between to work on your own stamp & block print.

In this class I teach you all you need to know to carve your first stamp and make your first prints on paper. 

My commitment is to provide you with clear, essential knowledge. This class is designed to be concise yet comprehensive, ensuring you grasp all the basics without feeling overwhelmed.

Consisting of five key lessons, the total class time is just 40 minutes. By following the straightforward steps I've laid out, you can expect to complete your first carved stamp and  block prints within 2-3 hours.

This class is your stepping stone to confidently carving more intricate blocks and exploring the delightful world of block printing!

This class focuses on the basics of stamp carving and block printing. We will be using ink pads and printing on paper.

Even if you want to move to printing on fabric later on, knowing how to carve your stamps and print on paper are the basics you want to have down first. Every time I print on fabric, I test my design on paper first before I move onto fabric. 

This class "Block Printing Made Easy" helps you get started with block printing. You will learn everything you need to know to successfully carve and print your first stamp. We are not working on repeat patterns in this class.

If you want to dive deep into the world of block printing repeat patterns, my 8-week in-depth course "Repeat Patterns Deep Dive" might be for you. 

The class is for you if ...

• You are excited about exploring a new medium or refresh your stamp carving and block printing skills.
• You love working with your hands.
• You are looking for a relaxing and meditative activity to add to your self-care routine.
• You want a break from digital screens and immerse yourself in a hands-on activity.
• You enjoy creating unique and personalized designs and want to learn a skill that can be applied to various projects and mediums.
• You want to create custom prints for personal or commercial use.
• You are open to experimentation with color, texture, and composition.
• You are excited to see the process of your designs come to life through printing.
• You want to have a quick start to stamp carving and block printing.

This class is not for you if ...

• You are afraid of sharp carving tools
  (side note: I will show you how to work safely with your tools in the class)
• You don’t like to get inky fingers
