In this class you will learn the basics of block printing:
creating a design
carving your block
inking and getting a clean print
Please bring your own garment(s) to print on and come prepared with an idea of what you’d like to print! The blocks we’ll be using are 4”x 6” - feel free to bring in a drawing or print-out and I’ll help you transfer it into your block. Or come with just an idea and I’ll help you translate it into something printable!
Note: Textured fabrics like corduroy or knitted items are difficult to print on, please bring something that’s nice and smooth (i.e. cotton t-shirt, denim, etc.)

  • 5/5 from Emma Larkins, attended Jun 2026: Incredible, well run, super fun. I'm glad that we got some direction on images beforehand. Thanks!
  • 5/5 from Ryann Ulrich, attended Jun 2026: This was a great class! Highly recommend. I printed on a few shirts and a bag.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Davis, attended Jun 2026: Fabric block printing was SUPER fun! Alessia was wonderful and expertly guided us through the process of carving the block, then paint application, and actual printing. As a novice my print actually turned out really well which was a delightful surprise. If you’re at all block printing curious, take this class! You won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend it to those who are solo or a really fun afternoon to do with friends. I look forward to more Ugly Baby classes!
  • 5/5 from Elizabeth C. Burns, attended Aug 2025: This class was everything I had hoped it would be. The teacher, Alessia, was very helpful and supportive. My daughter had given me a ClassBento gift card and it was very easy to use.
