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.
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 !
I really can’t say enough about how well the material was presented and how much fun I had! Thank you!

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!
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.
I like it when people get together and share ideas.
Great blog, continue the good work!
Hi, Neat post. There is an issue with your web site in web explorer, might test this?
IE nonetheless is the market leader and a good portion of other folks will miss your
wonderful writing because of this problem.
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!
