Block Printing for Beginners

Join us Thursday evening, March 9 from 6-8:30pm for a workshop and pizza with artist-in-residence Andrea Pérez Bessin as they teach attendees how to make block prints. Each attendee will create their own piece on paper and will be able to take home their block at the end of the workshop.

This workshop is open to all ages. Space is very limited! Register online now to attend; tickets are $15 which helps us to cover part of the material cost. We expect tickets to sell out quickly! Please email info@peterbulloughfoundation.org if you are interested in being on the waitlist.

This class has been generously sponsored by the Marion Park Lewis Foundation for the Arts and First Bank.
