About the Event
All supplies included!
Spend an afternoon learning the art of block printing and make your own holiday cards to share with friends, family, and loved ones! Under the instruction of printmaking and collage artist Amy Torgeson, you'll go through the process of selecting an image of your choice, carving a block, and printing your unique design onto various papers.
This technique is perfect for creating bold and textural designs. At the end of the workshop, you'll leave with your own carved block, a set of printed cards, and the skills to explore this centuries-old method on your own at home.

About the Artist:
Amy Torgeson is an artist working in printmaking and collage. She loves the collaborative relationship between both methods; printmaking provides material for collage, and the layering and multi-dimensional qualities of collage make their way back into her printmaking. Her studio practice is focused on process and experimentation and she likes to see evidence of the process in the final work. "I'm hoping to capture a sense of being in the middle of things, of coming upon a work when there's still potential, when the thing is still alive and unfinished. That's the most exciting moment to me, when I'm in the middle of making." Amy loves stories, writing and words but was ultimately a frustrated writer. Her love of typography (the shapes not the nomenclature) serves as an important starting point for much of her work. Amy spent ten years teaching writing and art to college students, with arts organizations and in after school programs. Today, she hosts art workshops in her studio in Sausalito, providing an intimate space for creative flow and connection. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and two children.
