This very-first session will be led by Jennifer Cox, Cincinnati native and owner of Make.Do, an inclusive yarn, fabric, and fiber craft shop located in the Pleasant Ridge neighborhood.
Participants will design and carve their own printing blocks to print original patterns onto canvas tote bags to take home. The event also celebrates the work of Cincinnati-based printmaker Terence Hammonds, whose print-based art, spanning ceramics, textiles, and wallpaper, will be featured in the exhibition Soul is a Ham Hock in Your Cornflakes. The workshop brings a major cultural institution and a local and nationally recognized artist to a neighborhood library setting, making printmaking and public art accessible to West End residents of all ages and skill levels.
Children 8 and below will be given an alternative printing method if unsupervised by a person over 18.
Please bring an apron and clothing you are comfortable with staining, as we will be using fabric inks. Gloves will be provided.
