Join us this holiday season for one of our unique Holiday Art Experiences. These 3-hour workshops are a chance to connect with local artists, learn a new skill, and create one-of-a-kind gifts with festive flair for the holidays. Bring a friend and come learn, explore & create in our various studios.
Workshop Description: The holiday season is fast approaching! Why not add a personal touch to your celebrations this year by creating your own custom greeting cards? In "Hand-Printed Greeting Cards with Jerry Walsh," you'll learn to design, carve, and print your very own cartes de voeux using simple relief printmaking techniques.
In this beginner-friendly workshop, participants will explore the basics of relief printmaking. You'll get hands-on experience with tools like the “u” and “v” gauge for carving, and learn essential skills such as inking, paper registration, and hand printing. Please bring one or two design ideas to create 5x7 holiday cards that will delight your family and friends.
Level: Beginners, Ages 5+. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
Please note: Registration for this class will close on Sunday, December 1 at midnight.

About the Artist: Gerald Thomas Walsh III, affectionately known as Jerry, is a lifelong resident of the Big Island and a graduate of the University of Hawaii at Hilo with a B.A. in General Art. Jerry's artistic journey led him to discover a deep passion for printmaking, where he explores patterns that blend organic and geometric elements, often incorporating the human figure into his work.
Jerry's prints have been featured in numerous exhibits at the Donkey Mill Art Center and the Annual Japanese Chamber of Commerce Exhibit in Oahu. With a background in teaching art at Makua Lani Christian Academy for students from Kindergarten through 7th grade, Jerry now focuses on his own printmaking projects and works at Parrots in Paradise Sanctuary.
