Zen and the Art of Block Printing Workshop
Relax and design, carve and print beautiful stamps
3 hours
4 to 20
label
$100
What you'll do
Carving is my form of meditation. The single focus of tool cutting rubber helps me to destress - plus I have something gorgeous to print with afterwards. Carving stamps is relatively inexpensive, does not require a lot of space and is highly gratifying and addictive!
In this crafts class I will introduce you to my process of designing, carving and printing. I will share with you my materials, techniques and tips. We will talk about simple blocks, layering stamps and repeating tile stamps. You will then design and carve a small rubber block and then print with it, creating some beautiful stationery.
I have been developing my carving and printmaking skills for over 3 years and love to create gorgeous art prints and unique greeting cards. Not only do I use stamps in my daily art practice but I also love to get crafty with homemade wrapping paper and gift tags.
Class outcomes:
- Breathe, relax, carve.
- Learn basic carving techniques.
- Create some beautiful cards and take home your stamp to use again and again.
Knowledge Required
None, but it might be a good idea to have a little think about a simple image that you might like to try and carve.
What you'll get
Their completed rubber stamps and anything that they have printed.
What to bring
Everything will be provided.
Suitable for
This class is
a great indoor activity idea for
a birthday, hens party, team building activity, corporate event, bucks party or Christmas party.
This is a fun indoor activity, suitable
for adults, and kids (minimum 12 years old).
An adult must accompany any attending kids, and must pay for a separate ticket.

This was a very fun class. Rowan was a lovely teacher - very bubbly, informative and came around multiple times checking if we had any issues/questions. She also gave us a very comprehensive overview about where to find resources to continue this at home. This is definitely going to be a new hobby of mine!
Anne Tripolone • May 2019
I learned some basic techniques & where to begin & had a go at making some stamps of my own with the tools provided. Rowan’s enthusiasm for block printing is so contagious. She’s inspired me to try crafting some more out.
Cery Albesa • Mar 2019
The workshop is worth everything -- the materials, knowledge, and the teacher. Rowann is very kind and entertaining. She'll give you advices with stamps or materials, and even with how you'll deal with what you want to do. It's a very calming and fulfilling activity and before you know it, the class will be ending.
Tamara Stanley • Mar 2019
A fun, easy and affordable class with a helpful teacher who gave us tips on where to source good quality materials for future projects.
Fiona Baird • Jan 2019
Rowan is a great teacher and passionate about her art form, obviously very talented at it. I enjoyed the course, it was harder than I expected but Rowan gave me help. I think you do need basic drawing skills or more designs to trace. The equipment we used was all good quality and there was plenty, no waiting to use anything. The venue was very relaxing and inspiring. Thank you Rowan

An inspiring start to a new craft! Rowan supplies a variety of materials to get you started. She demonstrated each step of the process and provided good tips from her experience. She is encouraging and helpful so that you achieve a worthwhile product at the end of the workshop.

I took my mother to the class as a surprise birthday activity and was not disappointed! Rowan was a wonderful teacher and host - knowledgeable, warm + friendly, and well prepared for the class. The space was inviting, all the materials were available for us, and we were able to make speedy progress in our block printing skills during the class! Highly recommended.

The class was fun. Rowen was a very organised, friendly, and helpful tutor. I would highly recommend you do a workshop with her if you ever get the opportunity. I came home with a stamp and card. Yah

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the class. We're inspired to carry on block printing at home. Rowan was lovely- very informative and generous. Cute house, good light and very funky. We loved it.
