Block & Bloom: Art Blocks Marfa 2026

Participants making block prints together around the workshop table — A table full of color, blocks, and people making together.

A little color, made together.

I brought Block & Bloom to Art Blocks Marfa Weekend: a table of color, printing blocks, and fabric for everyone to make something of their own.

We worked with floral blocks and bright colors, printing onto fabric pouches and bags. Each person chose where to place a shape, which color to try next, and when their piece felt finished. The same blocks led to so many different combinations.

I had such a great time sharing the table, watching people try a print, add another, and hold up what they had made. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and made something with me.
