Printmaking Workshop
with Samantha Mendoza

This festive, hands-on workshop invites participants to design and print their own Trick-or-Treat tote bags using carved printing blocks. Choose from a playful mix of classic monster heads—divided into thirds—to combine and create your own “Frankensteined” design. Participants 12 years old and over are also encouraged to carve their own Halloween-inspired imagery for a truly one-of-a-kind creation.

We’ll provide all the supplies—you just bring your creativity! Feel free to bring a shirt or a tote bag to make your own custom print.
