Celebrate the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Horse through playful, hands-on printmaking. Participants will design and carve soft foam printing plates inspired by zodiac horse imagery and celestial constellations, then ink and hand-print their designs using brayers and water-based inks. Create multiple prints to take home and share.
Participants will explore introductory printmaking, focusing on pattern-making, symbolism, and visual storytelling. They will gain hands-on experience with accessible tools. They will leave with original prints and a deeper understanding of the printmaking process.
No experience needed. This hands-on workshop is open to adults and children ages 7+ with an adult—families welcome! All materials are provided.
