Workshop Description: Carve your own stamp-sized linoleum block and create bold, beautiful prints! In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn the basics of design transfer, carving, and printing by hand. Walk away with your own custom mini stamp and a set of prints to keep or share. Attendees can then swap & try out each other’s carved stamps to create unique pieces that remind of us this creative community gathering.
All materials are provided, but you’re encouraged to bring your journal or fabric/garments to print new life into
Block printing is a printmaking technique where designs are carved into linoleum, inked, and pressed onto paper or fabric.
Can’t wait to see what you create- grab a friend or two and see you soon.
Location: We are located in Medford Square across from Colleen’s at 66 High St., Medford, MA. Accessible by the MBTA buses 80, 94, 95, 96, 101, 134, 354 and about a 25 minute walk from the Medford/Tufts Green line stop. Parking information can be found here.
About the Artist: Bithiah Holton is a Queer Black and Mexican American multidisciplinary artist based in Medford. They create comics and illustrations but also love working in printmaking and ceramics.
Accessibility Statement: This workshop space is located on the first floor and is wheelchair accessible through the main entrance. A gender-neutral bathroom is available onsite. Seating is primarily on stools without backs, but a limited number of chairs with backs can be provided upon request — please feel free to reach out in advance if this would be helpful.
Workshops include verbal, visual, and written instructions. I begin each session with an overview of materials, safety, and process so participants can go at their own pace. You're welcome to take breaks, step outside, or move around as needed at any time.
The space is brightly lit with overhead lighting and a floor lamp. Music will be playing during the session — let me know if a quieter environment would make things more accessible for you.
Some activities (such as carving or sculpting) involve fine motor skills. Each guest will be provided their own tools.
Support people, aides, and ASL interpreters are welcome to attend alongside participants, though I am currently not able to provide interpreters myself. If you have any questions or access needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out ahead of time at [bithiahsart@gmail.com].
I’m always learning and open to making adjustments — I want this to be a welcoming and joyful space for everyone.
