Linocut printing is an ancient artform, originating from China around 200 A.D., and was used in spiritual texts and artwork to convey and replicate sacred imagery.

Today, block printing is a dynamic and meditative artform. Cranston Arts Commissioner Abbey Tellier will lead guests in the process of creating their own rubber stamp, and leave with their own unique artwork.

John Hill, Chair of the Cranston Historical Cemeteries Commission, will also deliver a  presentation about his work with the CHCC, and how Cranston residents may get involved to help preserve the history and spaces that commemorate the rich lives of those buried in Cranston’s 167 historical cemeteries.
