Piedmont Park Conservancy lists Block Printing: Seasonal Cards for Wednesday, October 28, from 6 to 8 p.m. Local artist Heather Baker of Paper and Penny teaches participants to carve a linocut block and print five specialty cards. A local event listing quotes $25 and a minimum age of 18.
The technique is a satisfying complement to your vector-to-3D-print workflow. A bold, reduced silhouette that works as a linocut often also works as layered wall art, a laser-cut stencil or a simple embossing design. Unlike a software tutorial, the class provides immediate tactile feedback on how much detail survives the material.
If you go, choose a dragon scale, geometric monogram or Halloween shape with deliberate negative space. The point is not to copy a finished design; it is to learn how an experienced printmaker simplifies it into something manufacturable.
Check the 6 p.m. workshop registration; bring a simple silhouette idea that could later become an SVG.
