DIY Linocut Printmaking (1/12/2025 & 1/19/2025)
Learn how to make linocut relief prints using easily accessible materials, no printing press required! In this two-part class we will cover designing a successful print, carving it into the surface of the linoleum block, and printing a small edition in black ink on white paper using a rolling pin or wooden spoon. At the end of class there will be an optional print exchange as well!Â
The first session will be one hour online and cover design and linocut basics. The second session a week later will be two hours in person at The Toolbox Collective and will cover inking and printing your linocuts using a rolling pin or spoon. You should plan on finishing carving your design into the linoleum during the week between classes.
Please purchase and bring your own linoleum, carving tools, brayer, and spoon/baren/rolling pin for this class (I have linked some sources below). I will provide ink, paper and glass pallets during our in person session.

Quartz Structure Vessel
Modeled after the ideal shape of quartz crystals, a hexagonal prism with hexagonal pyramids at each end (one side of one pyramid is left open in this case), this hand-made stained glass vessel works well as a vase or terrarium. I test each one for water-tightness before shipping, and have successfully propagated a spider plant in my first prototype. They also create beautiful reflections and rainbows when filled with water.
Please choose which size and solder type you would prefer (lead-free is a good option if your household has pets of children who might touch it without supervision), as well as what glass and patina color you prefer. Please do not use it for real candles, as the heat can cause the glass to crack, and do not use it as a drinking glass. If you have any other desired customizations please email me and I will see what I can do! Please allow two weeks from ordering to expected shipping date as I make these to order.

Beginning
Beginning is made from a broken glass, 50/50 lead/tin solder, silicone, wire, and thread. Beginning is friend-shaped yet nigh untouchable, with squishy soft insides. This piece was included in my recent solo show Holding Pattern. Please note that this sculpture is very fragile and the silicone innards are removable.

Geode
Geode is made from red glass, copper foil, and 50/50 lead/tin solder and comes with a plug in LED light and stand.

This piece was included in my recent solo show Holding Pattern.
