ARTSPRING GUILD ROOM

SINGLE WORKSHOP - $75 / BOTH DAYS - $125


Create your own unique prints, learning different methods of wood and linoleum printmaking !

This intensive, two day workshop will introduce everyone to the main techniques of relief printmaking. The highly portable nature of relief printmaking allows the artist to create a series, or edition, of prints in virtually any size of studio. Participants will gain a good understanding of both the materials and techniques of printing, and will learn how to transform their own drawings into a print format, transferring their drawings to the blocks. We will work with different cutting techniques for block carving, and will explore reduction processes for color printing (day #1) and multiple block printing (day #2) Various print papers will enhance the artists understanding of the potential in these approaches. By the end of these workshops participants will have several prints to take home.
