Dirty Works: Origami Star Book With Laurel Jedamus

Create a small book that unfolds into a three-dimensional star. Start by making pages using a simple origami fold, then add covers to create a unique and decorative item that is both a book and an ornament.

Dirty Works: Screen Printing With Michelle Lee Lagerroos and Kirsten Olson

Friday, December 6, 6 – 8 pm

Learn the basics of screen printing with photo emulsion! Hand-pull a two-color print on a tote bag and paper.

Dirty Works: Carve and Stamp Wrapping Paper With Laura Brown Friday, December 6, 6 – 8 pm

Learn the basics of relief printing by carving your own stamp and creating a repeat pattern on paper. This is perfect for creating festive handmade gift wrap (and many other uses). Participants will leave with two 18×24-inch sheets of wrapping paper, ready for holiday gift-giving, and their own stamps for future printing and experimenting.
