Join us for a hands-on linoleum block printing workshop for adults. You’ll design and carve your own block, then hand-print your design onto a cotton tea towel to take home. Beginner-friendly and creatively satisfying—no prior experience needed.
About the instructor:
Bee Deeley began printmaking after a 36 year career as a public school educator. A long time collector of block print textiles, she quickly fell in love with linocut and began carving her own blocks. Given that millions of tons of textile waste are created in this country alone each year, Bee set out to make her practice as sustainable as possible. With a few exceptions, she upcycles vintage and secondhand linens. Recently, Bee has been exploring natural dyes- sourcing plants from her garden, foraged mushrooms, and food waste like avocado pits and skins.
Tools included:
Lino blocks, tools, ink, bag, ink tray
What you should bring:
Ideas for designs, pencil, wooden spoon or barren. Optional: old yoga mat for placing under bag
Date: Wednesday, March 11th, 2026
Time: 10:00am-12:30pm
Location: 243 North Avenue, Wakefield, MA 01880
Parking: Street Parking
