Handicraft & Art Projects

Next week we are starting block printing. This is a very versatile craft that you can use to decorate just about anything made of paper or fabric. Below is a brief history of block printing in case you’re interested. I’ll also be adding some links about supplies and project ideas.

We will also start a new picture study next week on an artist who is famous for his woodblock prints.
