Block Printing Workshop with Stephanie Mercado

Join artist Stephanie Mercado and Meztli Projects for a free block printing workshop!

Be part of a creative community experience connected to a new large-scale public mural for LA General Medical Center’s Restorative Care Village. The mural will celebrate healing plants, textile traditions, and the wisdom and memories of community voices.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll carve your own block print inspired by textile patterns and the memories that come with traditional textiles. We will also explore the healing power of plants and the connection between nature, culture, and wellness.

All materials are provided—just bring your creativity and your stories. Participants are also invited to share their knowledge of textile and fabric arts, healing plants and cultural traditions, helping shape the imagery that will inform the final mural design.

Come create, connect, and contribute to a meaningful public artwork rooted in collective care.

FREE • All materials provided • All are welcome

This workshop is made possible by the Civic Art Division of the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture.
