ART + RESISTANCE: INTRO TO BLOCK PRINTING FOR SOCIAL CHANGE BENEFIT WORKSHOP

Level 1 Block Printing: No previous experience is necessary. As is so often the case, the most important thing is simply to show up. 

Join us for a 3-hour workshop led by master printer and social activist Thea Gahr to create a block-printed protest sign (on fabric or a tote bag) and learn how to use art and design as powerful tools of resistance. We will build skills that strengthen our contribution to this growing cultural movement, helping to create a world where tolerance, diversity, and creativity form the cornerstones of our society.

Along with learning the technical skills of block printing—carving, tools, inking, application—this workshop will also delve into considerations of design and visual communication, making sure that your message is clear and concise, so you can use your voice to its fullest potential. 

JUST SEEDS ART GRANT

All of the profits from this workshop will go to fund art grants for Justseeds, a printmaking cooperative committed to social, environmental, and political activism. For every $150 collected, we will commission one artist to create a resistance poster that will later be made available FREE to the public for downloading and printing. Our goal is to fund 5-10 artworks with these grants, prioritizing artists who identify as women and people of color.
