Ali Baecker is a self-taught printmaker and pattern designer based in Switzerland. Through the art of block printing, she explores the beauty of patterns and surface design. Each piece begins with the slow, meditative process of hand-carving blocks and comes to life as she builds prints – one impression at a time.
Inspired by daydreams of the sea and everyday adventures, Ali creates under her brand 3 Dotted Penguins, where she explores tessellating shapes and surface design. She shares her passion through her Repeat Patterns Deep Dive course, helping students discover the joy of block printing and creating their own repeat patterns.
When she’s not carving, playing with patterns or teaching, you’ll find her exploring the world with her family, sipping green tea, or playing a good board game.
