Discover Your Creative Potential at Sedona Arts Center

Come learn the basics of relief printing by carving your own stamps to decorate and personalize fabric and clothing. We’ll learn how to use carving tools, how to transfer images we want to carve onto soft blocks, and how to print our stamps onto both paper and fabric.  We’ll also experience the meditative and visual power of repetition and pattern. You don’t need to have previous printmaking or drawing skills to enjoy this workshop! All of the carving and printing materials will be provided, but you should bring fabric items that you might want to print on, such as spare tote bags or tshirts (ideally nothing you’re too attached to, since these will be for practice!)

Every day, social media fills with flawless images that were never photographed. But the best photographs aren’t perfect—they’re real. Your iPhone is one of the most powerful creative tools you’ll ever own, not because it can invent reality, but because it can help you see it.

No expensive equipment. No artificial intelligence. Just your eye, your creativity, and the real world waiting to be explored.
