Hand Block Print + Pattern
Decorative Prints for Makers
Everything you need to design your first repeat pattern, even if you’ve never carved a block before.
 "Block printers are born, not made." - that’s a myth.
✨ Maybe you think people who sketch flowers and landscapes are just naturally gifted.
✨ Maybe you believe they open a sketchbook and instantly capture nature’s beauty.
✨ Maybe you’ve told yourself, “I’m just not artistic.”
But here’s the truth: drawing from nature is a skill — not magic.
What you admire in others is the result of practice, patience, and noticing the details all around us.
You don’t need to be a “natural” to start. You just need some gentle guidance, the willingness to observe, and the courage to begin.
In this course, I’ll walk you through the basics of nature sketching — from your first lines to your first finished garden drawing.
Let’s begin your sketchbook journey. You’ve got this.
Block printing is a skill anyone can learn!
Do you feel inspired by the beauty of organic shapes, textures, and repeat patterns?
Do you love the idea of creating your own hand-printed fabrics and paper goods but feel unsure where to start?
Are you a beginner or a casual DIYer who wants to carve and print your own custom designs with confidence?
Hand block printing is not just for the “naturally talented” — anyone can learn it!
I designed Hand Block Print + Pattern for aspiring makers of all levels — from complete beginners who have never touched a carving tool, to those who’ve tried printmaking before but want to grow their design and pattern-making skills.
You’ll learn the essentials of block printing from scratch: how to set up your workspace, translate your ideas into repeatable designs, carve safely, and confidently hand-print on fabric and paper.
Let’s unlock your creative potential — one print at a time.
Hi, I'm Mindy!
I’m a printmaker based in Rockford, Illinois, where I share a creative studio with my daughter, GG.
My journey as an artist actually started by chance. While studying the Philosophy of Art in graduate school, I was searching for a way to bring my love for graphic design, pattern-making, and textiles into a single, handmade practice. That’s when I fell in love with the slow, thoughtful, and beautifully tactile process of traditional hand block printing.
Today, twenty years after first carving a piece of linoleum, I design custom fabrics, clothing, and home decor. I'm incredibly proud to be a member of the Speedball Network of Professional Artists, an Ambassador for Flexcut Tools, and to have had my work featured in Midwest Living Magazine and The Crafter’s Box.
Now, I’m fulfilling a lifelong dream by sharing this beautiful, rhythmic craft with you!
Imagine overcoming your fears…
🎨 You set up your workspace, carve your block with ease, and feel the pure satisfaction of lifting your first print off the fabric. 🎨 No more comparing your work to others—you find joy in the organic textures, the beautifully imperfect details, and the uniqueness of your own handmade patterns. 🎨 Each custom piece of fabric or paper you create becomes a physical celebration of your creativity, color, and personal style.
How does that feel?
Today, you can choose to nurture your dream of designing your own custom textiles and prints. Hand block printing feeds both the mind and the heart—and now is your time to begin.
In Hand Block Print + Pattern, we’ll explore the tools, carving techniques, and playful mindset you need to start strong. You’ll learn how to slow down, notice pattern rhythms, and print custom creations that feel both professional and deeply personal.
I’ll be with you every step of the way. ✨
At the end of the course you will be able to:
Carve Confidently
You’ll master your carving tools and substrates, easily translating your sketches into clean, beautiful printing blocks with safety and precision.
Design Seamless Repeat Patterns
You’ll learn the geometry and rhythm behind repeat patterns, allowing you to create continuous, flowing designs that fit together perfectly.
Print Beautiful Custom Textiles
You’ll confidently mix inks and hand-print your custom patterns onto fabrics and paper, creating unique home decor, clothing, and stationery you are proud to share.
Course Content
The course has 7 modules for 6 hours of learning and practicing. It also includes 48 full-length lessons! You can pause and replay the videos as much as you want. The course is suitable for teens and adults because there is no explicit content (just remember to carve safely!). It would be best to take the course in order, because it will start from the basics to lessons at a more advanced level.
Practice makes perfect!
