Linocut for Bozos

The Eclectika is excited to announce our Linocut for Bozos 🤡 workshop with local Royal Jester Kameron (They/He). Participants are invited to join the court as we explore this traditional print making method. We will explore using this method on paper and fabric as guests make their own linocut designs. All materials will be provided but guests are encouraged to bring any denim, canvas or cotton you'd like to use. Guests are encouraged to also bring an image they wish to transfer to the linoleum, just be sure the line work is bold and the image is reversed. The process is safe, but we do ask that you mind your table manners and not stick sharp objects or ink up your nose. This gathering of goofy-ness will take place Sunday, October 11th and will begin at 11 am and end at 2 pm. The workshop fee is $35, payable through our website.
