THE HÄRT SPACE s+25 with Francis' World
Black Cat Printing
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to transform a simple image into a bold, graphic print using EVA foam—a versatile and accessible material perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike. Starting from a reference photo or drawing, you’ll trace and transfer the essential lines onto foam, carve out your shapes, and build a composition designed for printing.
You’ll then explore inking techniques using ink pads or sponges, and bring your design to life by printing it onto paper. The process is intuitive and experimental, encouraging you to play with color, layering, and repetition.
One of the most exciting aspects of this technique is its flexibility: you can clean your foam plates and reprint them multiple times, creating a series of unique variations simply by changing colors and arrangements. By the end of the session, you’ll have a collection of prints and the skills to continue experimenting on your own.
All materials are provided; this workshop is recommended for ages 16+.

About THE HÄRT SPACE
Introducing a series of workshops and happenings tailored for amateurs and art enthusiasts who enjoy creating and sharing their passion for making meaningful things. The name uses the phonetic sound of the word “ART” as a substitution within the word “HEART.” The phrase “holding heart space” is commonly used to describe a place of pure love and acceptance, where healing for yourself and others can take place. Holding heart space in your life happens through nurturing love in the things you choose to do.
The word “SPACE” itself also draws attention to the shop as a physical and emotional environment.
A combination of two concepts:
A space for creating art
A space for creating art
A space where you love to stay
