Everson Hall, Decorative Arts Laboratory, Home Economics Building. The Decorative Arts Laboratory in the new Home Economics Building on the University of California campus at Davis. On the rear wall are table place mats and napkins designed and block printed by students. The table in the foreground shows the tools used for block-printed -- linoleum blocks, ink, plate glass, brayer -- and samples of block prints on paper. A sample of hand-blocked yardage hangs on the wall at extreme left. In this laboratory, students learn the use of color and design and apply the principles to paper and fabrics.
