an introduction to relief printmaking

Sundays, 1-3pm, April 6, 13, 20, 27

This workshop is suitable for beginners and those with some printmaking experience. In this four-week class participants will learn the basics—and move beyond them—as we explore the possibilities of linocut, a versatile and accessible relief printmaking medium. Learn how to carve expressively, work with a range of papers and inking techniques, and get comfortable with the etching press. The possibilities are endless!
