Do-It-Yourself Block Printing with Brenzy

Student Activities
Written By Brenzy, Workshop Coordinator

What is a block print? You can think of a block print kind of like a stamp.

There are many ways to make a block print at home. Click on the video below, where Workshop Coordinator Brenzy shows you how to make one using materials that you probably already have around you, or can easily find: a styrofoam plate, pencil, washable marker, and paper. You will also learn how to reuse your print and turn it into a greeting card, zine, and photo frame. This activity was inspired by a stellar classroom workshop led by Teaching Artist Angellica Ruiz.

Join Workshop Coordinator Brenzy in creating a block print made from materials that you probably already have around you or can easily find.
