Bring a tote bag to life with your own custom design featuring an adorable character. Illustrator Nell Valle will break down how to create simple yet capturing character designs that radiate your inner child. Through a block-printing process, you can recreate the character or design over and over again as well as share and explore other participants' block print designs. No experience necessary! Supplies will be provided.
Pay what you can! Our suggested sliding scale for registration is $20-40 per participant. Your contribution helps support more Lucky Knot Arts programming! Each ticket includes (1) tote bag created with Nell as well as light snacks and drinks we’ll provide from a local Asian-owned vendor.
