Mayan Tabletop Eraser Printing Project
Sometimes you get a really good homework project.
Following a visit to the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Cambridge, children at a local school, were given a Mayan Project for homework.
This was a perfect opportunity to try out Morag Thomson Merriman‘s Eraser Printing! It turned out to be a wonderful process for little hands to explore carving with lino-tools, to create printing blocks with really effective results.
After lots of experimentation with designs through sketchbook work, the final work was a piece of printed fabric inspired by the Mayans.

I love the small scale of the printing blocks and how you’ve managed to get so much detail in each one. The final design is wonderful and works really well for the shape of the neckline – Well done!
