This is an introductory soft sculpture workshop. Each participant will create one complete linocut plushie, perfect for giving as a gift to squeeze and snuggle. Each student will start by designing their plushie, then transfer the image to a linoleum block to carve; once the carving is complete, we will print them on recycled fabrics and sew and stuff them. Everyone will leave the class with a completed gift to share with someone special (or keep for themselves).
