Craft Lake City Workshop: Fossil Printmaking

Craft Lake City Workshop: Fossil Printmaking

Unearth your creativity in this hands-on printmaking class inspired by Walking with Dinosaurs, a 6 part docuseries airing on PBS Utah June 16th.

Led by local printmaker Taelor Worthington of Tae Worth Studio at the PBS Utah News Studio, this beginner-friendly workshop guides participants through the full process of relief printmaking—from carving a design into a soft-cut block to inking and printing on stone-inspired, fine art paper.

Project designs are based on real fossils found in Utah and are thoughtfully adapted by the instructor to be beginner-friendly.

Attendees will leave with:

1. A beautiful 8”x10" handmade fossil print
2. A reusable 4”x6" carved stamp
3. The skills to continue printmaking at home
4. A deeper appreciation & understanding of Utah’s ancient past

This class is perfect for anyone curious about art, science or both. Space is limited so reserve your spot today!

** All skill levels are welcome and all supplies provided. Ages 16+ recommended.

Her illustrative artwork is largely inspired by earthy magic within the natural world, traditional folklore, and botanical symbolism. Tae studied printmaking in college, and has remained passionate for over a decade since, participating in art exhibitions, occasionally teaching workshops, and selling her relief prints in cute little maker markets across Utah.
