Grown-ups of all ages, artistic abilities and inclinations are welcome to Minni Block Printing Workshop with LinoCave. Come discover the joy of block printing on fabric, all materials will be provided. Instructor Susana McDonnell will guide participants through creating a simple design to carve on a rubber block and print onto a tea towel. You will learn all of Susana’s top tips for beautiful prints on fabric, and leave with your printed tea towel, your hand-carved block that you can continue to use indefinitely and the skills to launch you into your own fabric printing journey.
Susana McDonnell is the owner of LinoCave, a Boston-based home studio focused on geometric pattern design and block printing on fabric and paper. She holds a BFA from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University and is a lifelong artist who has studied and taught many mediums including, but not limited to glassblowing, neon, wood, drawing and watercolor. Despite the fact that block printing is one of the few mediums she has not formally studied, the allure of it inspires her to teach and explore it further every day. She is the co-host of @printersolstice, a prompt-based printmaking campaign on Instagram that inspires printmakers around the world to create during the winter solstice and is also a Speedball Demo Artist.
