Join ArtWalla artist, Sonja Rootvik Ewing for a fun evening of custom Lino-Cut printmaking
"In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to carve your own design into a linoleum block, apply ink, and create striking prints on paper! The design can be your choice; reference photos of nature, animals, and scenery will be provided. This class covers the fundamentals of carving techniques, inking, and hand-printing, while encouraging experimentation with pattern, texture, and composition.
Block printing, also called Lino-cut, is extremely satisfying with ‘you-can’t-go-wrong’ results! For artists at any level-- you’ll love this! The water-based ink dries quickly and finished pieces will be ready to take home with you at the end of class. Come ready to unleash your creativity and leave with a series of your own original prints!
All supplies are provided, including reference imagery."
You can register for the class here.

Rooted in the rich traditions of Panamá, a crisol de razas (an immigration program), the band’s sound is an embodiment of those diverse cultures, and its music encompasses the entirety of the Americas. The band interweaves styles as divergent as cumbia and blues, salsa, soul, and rock’n’roll – all boiled down into their own original sound.
The Hip-Hop Orchestra Experience (THHOE) doesn’t remix genres—it invents a new one. Equal parts symphony, dance party, and underground club night, THHOE fuses the structural rigor of classical with the raw energy of hip-hop, creating a new genre of live performance.
