Printed Paper Ornaments – Saturday, November 15, 2025

Use linocut tools to carve rubber stamps and then use those stamps to create unique holiday ornaments. Draw a simple design or work from a provided template. You’ll make folded 3D decorations or flat 2D styles printed using stamp pads. You can take your stamps home to create more ornaments on your own.
All printmaking supplies will be provided but if participants have an extra x-acto knife/cutting mat, bone folder, or paper punch, to bring that might be helpful for the 3D ornaments. Necessary cutting and folding tools will be available for shared use but in larger class sizes it is nice to have your own when possible.
We will be printing with black ink on paper. Students can bring colored pencils or markers to decorate their ornaments prior to folding if desired.

Your instructor will provide the following:

• Lino carving tools
• Pencils
• Carving blocks
• Ink pads
• Paper
• Glue sticks
• String for hanging ornaments
• Folding and cutting tools
• Printed instructions/template

Students are asked to bring:

• Optional to bring color pencils/markers/xacto knife, cutting mat, scissors, hole punch IF they have them and want to – some will be available for shared use
