Calabash gallery to offer evening block print class

Sunset River Marketplace art gallery will offer a one-night class on block printing with instructor Janette Montgomery from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, June 21.
The event is part of the gallery’s Creative After Hours series designed to encourage non-artists to explore creativity in a fun and informal environment.
The series, which presents jewelry making, folk art, painting seascapes, floral still-life and other subjects, has become popular with bridal parties, friends and local organizations. The atmosphere also makes it comfortable for individuals seeking some artistic inspiration, organizers say.
According to Montgomery, who has already taught a popular block-printing Creative After Hours class, “We’ll be creating a unique palm tree block print. I’ll show everyone how to cut, ink and press the individual prints using a variety of papers. All skill levels (or lack thereof) are welcome.”
As with all Creative After Hours events, Sunset River Marketplace will supply materials, snacks and instruction. Participants should bring their own wine or other beverage. Fee for the class is $35 per person. Space is limited, so reservations are required.
