This will be a busy and exciting month at MontiArts! Our Holiday Art & Makers Market is now restocked after a big weekend, and we still have more Block Printing classes coming up for those wanting to create something beautiful and handmade.

After the New Year, Glow Season arrives with our UnSilent Night Walk, and we’re already looking forward to the glow-filled lead-up to GlowFest 2026 on February 28th. Get ready — we’ve got lots of special workshops and surprises planned!

2 of 3 Classes left in our 2025 Block Printing Workshops

Still time to sign up!

Welcome to the world of block printing! This series of classes will help you expand your knowledge and experience of block printing. Using rubber carving blocks we will create a variety of images and print them on both paper and fabric. You will learn to make multicolor prints and how to use your blocks to print beautiful, washable patterns on fabric. Students are encouraged but not required to bring in their own ideas, photos and patterns to work from. All materials and tools are provided, but if you have your own carving tools or items you would like to print on (stationery, t-shirts, etc) please feel free to bring them to class!
