MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR, ALI BAECKER OF 3 DOTTED PENGUINS

Hey, I'm Ali!

I am a self-taught printmaker and surface pattern designer based in Zurich, Switzerland. I am the creative force behind 3 Dotted Penguins. My work has attracted more than 70'000 followers on Instagram. 

My mission? I'm here to teach you my passion for block printing and pattern design, sharing my hard-earned lessons from a complete block printing newbie in 2018 (with no previous experience) to the pattern pro I am now.  Let's dive in and kickstart your block printing journey.

Since 2020, I've taught hundreds of students worldwide. There's no bigger joy than seeing my students experience the magic of block printing through the work they create.
