Block Printed Holiday Wrapping Paper, Bags & Tags
About the Class
Join Kelly in the studio for an engaging evening of creating handmade holiday block-printed wrapping paper, bags and tags!
Participants will be introduced to potato printing and block printing using an assortment of seasonal produce and botanicals. We’ll provide everything you need to print some sheets of wrapping paper, gift bags, and cute bag tags. Explore how to carve and ink up these surfaces with water-based materials to achieve colorful one-of-a-kind nature prints. Participants will gain the knowledge to keep printing at home and walk away with an assortment of inspiring handcrafted goodies to creatively decorate gifts this holiday season! This workshop is suitable for all levels of artistic ability. No prior printmaking experience is required. This is a fun process which just requires imagination and the willingness to experiment and share materials. The class fee includes use of all tools, paper, ink, ribbons, and printing ephemera.

Class FAQ
We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class.
Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee (minus the payment processing and services fee), or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.
All credits must be used within 1 year.
