THE ARTIST’S GIFT


Barbara Perez is presenting a workshop on Tuesday, December 1st from 1:00 – 5:00 p.m.

Design and carve your own block print. Print several variations the same day. No experience necessary. Barbara will take you step-by-step using examples and demonstrations.
Barabara’s a local favorite as her teaching style is inventive and fun.

Cost of the workshop is $50. and $15 for materials.
