April Showers: Printing Peonies with Meryl Engler

April 18 @ 1:00 pm 2:30 pm

Celebrate spring with a hands-on introduction to woodcut printmaking.

Using pre-carved floral woodblocks, participants will learn the basics of inking and hand-printing without a press, then create their own vibrant flower prints to take home. Led by artist Meryl Engler, the workshop includes a brief overview of the carving process and guidance throughout printing. Participants will work with water-based inks and leave with a small collection of their own handmade prints.

Meryl Engler is a printmaker known for her colorful woodcut prints, often using pattern and repetition. She is inspired by hidden landscapes in our environment and the relationships we form to them and to each other. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is currently on view at Peg’s Gallery in Illuminated Fundamentals.

All events are free and open to the public.
No registration necessary.

Weave-n-Wonder Workshop

Please register in advance, as space is limited. Join us for a hands-on weaving workshop that blends creativity, curiosity, and playful learning for all ages. Weave-n-Wonder invites children ages 6 and up (with adult support as needed) and curious learners of all ages into a relaxed, hands-on weaving experience. Participants will create simple woven bracelets and bookmarks while exploring how patterns, structure, and design come together through making. Designed to be low-pressure and accessible, the workshop encourages curiosity, patience, and creative exploration. As participants weave, they naturally engage with foundational ideas in fine motor development, pattern recognition, and early math thinking—experiencing how art and science reinforce one another in tangible, approachable ways. The workshop is led by Gargi Bhaduri, whose early life was shaped by both artistic encouragement and a strong grounding in math and science—two perspectives she came to understand as deeply connected. With a PhD in Human Environmental Sciences and over 20 years of experience in fashion research and education, she founded Weave-n-Wonder under her parent organization, Fabric of Learning. The program emerged from her observation that abstract math concepts often become more accessible when translated into hands-on, tactile experiences like weaving. Weave-n-Wonder reflects a simple but intentional idea: learning deepens when it is active, creative, and rooted in real-world making. This event is free and open to the public. Free parking is available on city streets and lots throughout the walkable downtown neighborhood of Hudson, Ohio.
