Maker's Space - DIY Flag + Block Printing

Join us for a creative work party where we’ll give retired DSC sails a second life by transforming them into decorative flags!

During this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn some basic sewing skills, including how to hem your flag and add grommets. You’ll also have the chance to carve your own reusable block stamp and use it to decorate your flag. We’ll provide acrylic paint, brushes, stencils, blocks, and all the materials you’ll need to get creative.

Take home a piece of DSC history to display in your home, give as a special holiday gift, or share with a fellow sailor. You’ll also get to keep the reusable stamp you create during the workshop!

No experience is necessary, all skill levels are welcome, from first-time sewers to experienced makers. If you’re comfortable with the basic use of a sewing machine and are willing to help others learn, please sign up as Intermediate.

The event will be held in the Liberty Room, located on the third floor of the brick building along Key Highway. You’ll receive an email on the day of the event with instructions for entering the building.

If the event is full, please add yourself to the waitlist. We’ll contact you if a spot becomes available.
