Potato Block Printing on Fabric
About
Carve potatoes into stamps and use them to build repeat patterns, first on a test cloth and then on a tote bag to take home. Catherine Wilson teaches the beginner workshop from 10am to 1pm on Saturday, December 12, at Lillstreet Art Center, 4401 N Ravenswood Ave near the Montrose Brown Line. It costs $130 ($125 members) plus a $10 materials fee.

New to printmaking?
Printmaking classes cover ways of making an image you can print more than once: carving lino or wood blocks, screen printing, monotypes, etching or letterpress.
- Block printing and monotype are the friendliest starts; etching and letterpress need more studio time.
- Inks stain. Wear old clothes and expect to wash up at the end.
- You usually leave with an edition of several prints, not just one.
Taking it home: Usually the same day, once the ink is dry enough to carry. Oil-based prints may need a few days.
