Valentines Card Making Workshop

Join this beginner-friendly workshop for an energizing start to your day filled with creativity & craft as we learn different techniques to hand print your own Valentine's Day cards.

During the first part of the workshop, we’ll make prints with a gelli plate. Then, we’ll use the prints along with a variety of collage materials to make our own, one-of-a-kind Valentines greeting cards.

Plan to leave with at least 3 to 5 completed cards, extra prints and unlimited ideas!

MATERIALS FEE

Please bring $5 cash for the instructor to cover all materials & tool use in this workshop. Please let us know upon registration whether you have your own gelli plate & brayer that you can bring to use in class.
