Block Printing at Yonder Shop

Jen Hewett: Block Printing Class at Yonder Shop

On Saturday, ten women joined me at Yonder Shop in Pacifica for another iteration of my block printing workshop. After teaching two three-hour classes in the previous weeks, having five hours to teach the fundamentals of block printing was such a luxury.

Everyone who took the class created outstanding work. I’ve probably said that after each class, but it’s true. And I know it’s a cliché to say that I, the teacher, leave each class feeling inspired, but that’s also true. I see work that comes from a different perspective, that makes me think about trying other  approaches to my creative process.

Here are a lot of photos from the class. I tried to edit them down (really, I did!), but it was hard to choose just a few.

I’m not posting this week’s print today. Teaching three classes in as many weeks has left me more than tired, and I used my Sunday off to watch Prime Suspect (so good). I may carve and print and post later this week. I still have a bit of sleep to catch up on! I’ll definitely be back on my regular schedule next week.

  1. Hi Jen ! What great pictures ! Thanks so much, had an amazing time ! So inspirational — I can’t wait to explore the process much more. I think everyone had a wonderful time.

    Oh and yes — prime suspect is some of the best television ever ! There’s another great show called Spiral ( in French) that isn’t too shabby either !

  4. Hi there! This article could not be written much better! Reading through this post reminds me of my previous roommate!
    He always kept talking about this. I most certainly will send this article to
    him. Fairly certain he’ll have a great read. Thanks
    for sharing!

  5. Have you ever thought about writing an e-book or guest authoring on other websites?
    I have a blog based on the same subjects you discuss and
    would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my audience would appreciate your work.
    If you are even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me
    an e mail.

  6. Good day! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering
    if you knew where I could find a captcha plugin for
    my comment form? I’m using the same blog platform as yours and I’m
    having trouble finding one? Thanks a lot!
