Give new life to your wardrobe in this creative, beginner-friendly 2.5 hour workshop! Led by local-artist and printmaker Kasey Leung, you’ll learn how to design, carve, and hand-print your own original block, then use it to transform a piece of clothing you already own.
Bring a garment like a denim jacket, linen pants, cotton shirt, or canvas tote, and learn how to thoughtfully place your print to create a one-of-a-kind wearable piece. Feel free to come with ideas, inspiration, or printed reference images, keeping in mind that your design will need to fit within a 4×6 inch block. The best fabrics for block printing are natural fibers with smooth, tight weaves, such as cotton or linen. It’s best to avoid stretchy, heavily textured, or fuzzy fabrics like knit or wool.
No experience needed and all printing materials are provided. Just bring a few cotton or linen-based items, and we can work together to select the best one to print on! This workshop is all about personal expression, experimentation, and embracing the beauty of handmade imperfections. You’ll leave with a refreshed, uniquely yours piece of clothing and your carved block to keep creating at home.
This class is appropriate for ages 14+ years.

Our experienced caregivers are carefully screened, background-checked, and trained to provide a wide range of non-medical home care services. We assist with personal care, bathing, grooming, dressing, mobility assistance, medication reminders, meal preparation, companionship, light housekeeping, transportation to appointments, and errands. We also specialize in Alzheimer’s and dementia care, fall prevention, post-hospital recovery support, respite care for family caregivers, and 24-hour or live-in care services for clients who need around-the-clock supervision. 24 Hour Caregivers proudly serves seniors and families throughout San Diego and surrounding communities, including La Jolla, Del Mar, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Chula Vista, National City, Oceanside, Escondido, Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Coronado, and nearby areas. Whether a client needs just a few hours of assistance each week or full-time, around-the-clock care, our flexible care plans are designed to meet each family’s schedule and level of support required. We understand that choosing the right home care provider is an important decision. Our team works closely with families, healthcare professionals, and discharge planners to ensure a smooth transition from hospital or rehabilitation back to the home environment. Our caregivers focus not only on physical assistance but also on meaningful companionship that improves quality of life. At 24 Hour Caregivers, we are committed to providing dependable, compassionate, and professional home care services across San Diego County.
