Turn an everyday canvas tote into a one-of-a-kind work of art! In this fun, beginner-friendly workshop, you'll personalize a canvas tote using a variety of fabric decorating techniques. Choose from stencils, fabric paints, paint markers, and hand-carved or pre-made block print stamps, or combine techniques to create a design that's uniquely yours.

Whether you prefer bold graphics, abstract patterns, or hand-lettered quotes, you'll create a durable, wearable piece of art you'll enjoy using for years to come.

No experience is necessary; all supplies are provided. If you have a tote (or other textile) you'd like to decorate, you have the option to bring your own!

Participants will:

• Explore fabric painting, paint markers, and block printing techniques

• Learn basic composition and color design for textiles

• Experiment with layering patterns, images, and lettering

• Create a personalized canvas tote that's both functional and artistic
