BLOCK PRINTING DEMONSTRATION
Date: January 10, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Where: New Troy Community Center
Address: 13372 California Road, New Troy, MI
During the January community market, the Breath & Ground studio will be open for a quiet block printing demonstration. Visitors are welcome to observe the process and, if they wish, create one or two hand-printed Valentine-style cards using provided materials.
Participation is informal and self-guided. A small pay-what-you-can contribution helps support studio materials. This is not a workshop or sales event, but an opportunity to experience a traditional hand-printing practice within a working studio.
​
The Breath & Ground printing process is rooted in traditional linocut techniques with modern, eco-friendly sensibilities.
Eco Karve printing blocks, made out of 100% recycled materials. They are easy to carve, leave fresh lines, are good for countless prints, and wash beautifully.
Printing is done using water-based ink on French Paper. Pictured are stock and envelopes from their Speckletone line, made 100% from recycled fibers at their hydropowered plant in Niles, Michigan.
