Description

Looking for a creative escape? Join us on campus for a unique DIY session where childhood nostalgia meets professional art-making. We’re reimagining Lego Dots as relief printing plates to create textured, geometric designs on tote bags and mini notebooks.

  • The Vibe: Low pressure, high reward. A perfect mid-week creative reset.
  • The Process: Learn the fundamentals of printmaking using building blocks. Select your colors, roll on our high-quality inks, and press your design.
  • The Result: A custom-printed item designed entirely by you.

No art experience? No problem. We’ll show you the ropes!

This event is hosted by the Art Museum and faciliated by Hot Glue Creux, a Grand Rapids-based craft club. 

While supplies last. 

This event is part of GVAM's spring Passport to Printmaking, and is part 1/3 in learning about accessible methods of printmaking.

This event is for GVSU students, staff, and faculty.

This event also appears on the main events calendar tagged as art, artmaking, creative, event, free, fun, printmaking, totebag, and wellness.
