Aviva Pilgrim will teach the basics of carving and printing a linoleum block. Participants will start by drawing a design, transferring it onto the block, carving, and end with printing onto cardstock to create their own Valentine's cards. They will leave with their own set of carving tools, a linoleum block, and 10 cards and envelopes for printing their own design (or trading with others). Students can come with an idea or drawing or find inspiration in the class.

"Finding Our Way | February 5 - April 26, 2026
The moment of arrival—what we carry when we seek sanctuary, transitions, and the crossing into safety. Sandra Spotts, artist. Jay Lane, artist. Familiar images made from various materials and objects, found and recycled, placed in a format of controlled chaos, is at this point in my journey, the medium of choice for the
“Finding Our Way” exhibit at Gotahold Brewing. I see society as satirical subject matter that exists in a surrealistic landscape of twisted perspective that is filled to the fences with social ironies. And yet, I still have to maintain my sense of humor about what has been and what will be with the activities du jour based on fear, war, greed, and hate. With this sense also comes my interpretations, expressed visually based on my
experiences, feelings, and health, from finding my way as an artist. I hope these pieces give you a sense of curiosity that you continue to carry with you while you are finding your way through all of this we humans call life."
