Hand-Printed Holiday Cards Workshop: Relief Printing at AMFA
The cards are the finished project, but the class also teaches the process behind them: participants carve a design into a printing block, then ink it and print on card stock. AMFA describes the take-home as two sets of hand-printed holiday cards; it does not specify how many cards are in each set.
A design moves from block to card
The workshop follows a practical sequence, from making a design in a block to using that block to print on card stock. The project is hands-on throughout, rather than a demonstration of finished cards alone.
AMFA says participants will make two sets to share with friends and family, but gives no total card count. Kristin Karr is listed as the instructor on the registration page.

Practice meant to continue beyond the class
AMFA presents the techniques as usable with tools participants can easily use at home, without large or specialized equipment. That makes the workshop a fit for someone interested in learning a repeatable printmaking process as well as leaving with handmade cards; the listing does not identify the specific tools used.
