Sold Out – DIY Block Printed Beeswax Fabric Wraps
Carve custom printing blocks and create reusable beeswax food wraps in this 2-hour hands-on workshop. Sip wine, get creative. Materials included.
program overview
Spend a creative evening making a beautiful DIY printed eco-friendly project!
Learn to create sustainably responsible, reusable block-printed, food safe beeswax fabric wraps as an alternative to using disposable plastics. The DIY process involves carving a small potato block pattern, printing it onto 100% cotton, then cutting the fabric and coating it with beeswax, rosin, and oil. This flexible, sealable alternative to plastic is a fun and inspiring hands-on project to make and use!
You’ll design and carve your own potato block, then use it to print your own custom fabric used for the functional beeswax wrap. Sip wine, meet new people, and enjoy a relaxed, creative atmosphere as you learn the art of block printing and eco-friendly crafting. Whether you come with friends or solo, this workshop is the perfect way to unwind, connect, and leave with practical handmade pieces you’ll be excited to use again and again.
All printmaking materials and instructions are included — No experience is necessary. Just bring your creativity and curiosity!
