Free Ink Day

October 28, 12 - 4 pm at Highpoint

A FREE EVENT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY – COSTUMES ARE WELCOME!

Join us for our Fall Free Ink Day! For this event, we are using a technique called Pochoir, which is printmaking with stencils. All materials for the planned activity are non-toxic and supplied by Highpoint. No registration is necessary – just drop in, bring your creativity, and be ready to get inky! Staff and volunteers will be able to answer any questions along the way.

It’s a spooky time of year and Halloween weekend, so costumes are welcome, candy is provided, and ghost, pumpkin, and monster stencils will be ready for printing!

Interested in volunteering? We would love your help!
