Unleash your child's inner printmaker in this engaging three-hour school holiday workshop designed specifically for beginners aged 10 to 13. Kids will learn the art of block printing by sketching, carving, and inking their own unique designs. This hands-on experience encourages creativity and provides a fantastic introduction to printmaking techniques.
Throughout the session, participants will create a custom stamp from soft carving rubber, experiment with vibrant fabric inks, and produce bold prints on paper. They will also have the opportunity to stamp their design onto a sturdy cotton tote bag, or bring along a plain T-shirt for an extra print.
This workshop is perfect for young creatives looking to explore a new artistic skill and take home their own handmade creations, including their carved block, tote bag, and a stack of prints.
The workshop runs for three hours, from 09:00 to 12:00 on Thursday, 16 April 2026, at Pine Street Creative Arts Centre. The class size is limited to a maximum of 8 students to ensure plenty of one-on-one guidance from experienced instructors.
Participants should wear comfortable clothes and enclosed shoes, as the inks can be messy. All materials are provided, but children are welcome to bring a plain T-shirt if they want an additional printed item.
This session serves as a taster for the centre’s full printmaking courses, making it a great introduction for those interested in continuing their artistic journey.
