HANDS-ON HOUSTON: SCRATCH-FOAM PRINTING

Time
Saturday, July 1, 2023 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm
Location
Houston Center for Contemporary Craft
4848 Main St., Houston, Texas, 77002 (Map)

Explore repeating patterns by creating your own scratch-foam stamp, inspired by our summer exhibition of ceramics and printmaking, Gabo Martinez: The Land of Flowers!

Learn how to design and transform a repeating image into a seamless pattern. Seamless patterns can continue infinitely in all directions, and are often found in wrapping paper, textiles, and wallpaper. What will your pattern design be used for?

Note: This activity will take place indoors and is on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. The event is subject to change or cancellation in response to current COVID-19 conditions.

HANDS-ON HOUSTON is a free drop-in event held the first Saturday of every month. Each month, a teaching artist demonstrates a craft related to the current exhibitions. Families and children of all ages are welcome to come any time between 11 AM and 3 PM and participate in a 15 – 20-minute activity. Materials are provided. This program supports HCCC’s mission to advance education about the process, product, and history of craft. Learn more here.
