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 my studio 3 Dotted Penguins. My work has attracted more than 70'000 followers on Instagram. 

My mission? I am here to teach you all about 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.  With my experience, I will help kickstart your block printing journey.

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

What Ali's students say ... 

"Thank you for sharing - I’m leaving with some great ideas to try" 

- Claire

"Thank you for a great session. I love your passion. You have inspired me to try block printing."

- Erinma

"Wonderful! I love listening to your printing advice/instruction. It’s always so inspiring!"

- Deb
