Ink and Intention: A Folk Art Block Printing Workshop

As part of the Educating for the Virtues of Attention (EVA) initiative, the Wilson Special Collections Library will host a hands-on block printing event designed to help students practice mindful attention through exploration and creative engagement. Participants will explore books, photographs, and other historical documents and objects related to folk art from the Southern Folklife Collection before creating block-printed art of their own. With guidance from library staff, students will carve small linocut stamps and print them on paper to create designs that can be used as gift wrap, displayed as artwork, or shared with others.
