Create your own custom block print.

ASSIGNMENT

Your assignment is to carve a stamp to create a block print. You will

Carve a design into rubber, linoleum, or even a potato (!)
Create a stamp to ink up
Print your stamp multiple, unlimited times to create a pattern

A few tips:

Go custom! Select your favorite textile or home good to print on, and print a simple pattern however you choose.

You can use acrylic medium in place of ink — it will work well and stick to most textiles.

Be sure to spend time experimenting with your pattern and the many designs it can create just by shifting and rotating it as you print.

Note: For more background, check out my first class here for more of a deep-dive into creating and sketching the design for your tile.

DELIVERABLE

Start out by sharing a drawing of your stamp design. Once you've carved and printed your pattern, please share the result on your favorite home textile!
