LACMA's Andell Family Sundays Workshops Inspire Nature Observation Through Block Printing Exhibition
Every Sunday afternoon, the Andell Family Sundays program at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art offers fun workshops for people of all ages. There are also family-friendly blog posts on Unframed to complement these activities. In April, the workshops will draw inspiration from the exhibition Deep Cuts: Block Printing Across Cultures, located at the Resnick Pavilion until September 13, 2026. On April 19 and 26, participants can make a loose-leaf observation book, gathering rubbings and drawings from natural elements like leaves and bark. They'll need materials such as cardstock, computer paper, string, pencils, and oil pastels, along with guidance for creating an 8" × 8" cover and 5" × 5" pages, blending ancient printing techniques with modern observation.
