Creating our own geometric patterns, we will create layers of repeated patterns using rubber blocks printing on paper.

“… I spent a lot of time looking for patterns on the group. I found patterns everywhere: the parquet of my parents’ den (squares pleasingly divided in into four more squares, then subdivided into rectangular strips of wood), the hexagonal tile of my elementary school’s bathroom, the uneven lines of the living room’s hardwood floors. Even the neighborhood laws, viewed up close, had patterns: clumps of clover and mallow interspersed among the grass.” ~ Jen Hewett from “Print Pattern Sew”
