About this event

The Classes Wednesday, November 18 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM Admission: $40 Discover the magic of block printing with artist Jeff “Pixel” Palmer and create your own handmade holiday cards to share with friends and family.

Once your block is complete, you’ll use it to print a series of beautiful, one-of-a-kind holiday cards. You can make as many prints as you’d like using your carved stamp to pass out to all your family and friends.
