Upcycled Holidays Gift Wrap and Card Printing Workshop
Make your own holiday wrapping paper and stationery with stamps carved from vegetables, rubber erasers, and found objects, printed on upcycled paper. Join us on December 3rd at Circular Commons for a festive, zero-waste workshop! You’ll learn how to carve your own stamps, then explore a variety of upcycled stamping and printing techniques to create different looks. You’ll leave with handmade wrapping paper, stationery, and the skills to keep printing all season long. No art experience needed.
Participants will learn to carve stamps from potatoes, rubber erasers, and other found objects, and will be guided through several upcycled stamping and printing techniques for achieving a range of visual effects. Stamps will be used to decorate upcycled materials, creating handmade wrapping paper and stationery as a reusable alternative to store-bought, single-use options. Materials will be provided but participants are encouraged to bring their own upcycled materials to stamp on (paper bags work great!).
Kelsey Moffitt is an artist and designer specialized in creating products and experiences made from waste materials. Her work transforms overlooked, discarded items into functional and beautiful objects, and invites people to see everyday “trash” in a new way. Through hands-on workshops, she shares accessible, low-cost techniques that make creative reuse approachable for people of all skill levels.
