Relief Printing
Dive into the beautiful world of relief printmaking! Learn to design, carve, and print expressive woodcuts and linocuts. Starting with single-color images, we’ll cover the basics of mark-making, tool safety, using the press, and editioning. Then we can build more complex images using multiple blocks, multiple colors, color gradients, laser cutting, and other advanced techniques. As we progress, we’ll discuss traditional and contemporary printmaking from Kathe Kollowitz and Picasso to Elizabeth Catlett and Steve Prince. Students can expect to finish two or three editioned prints, with the potential for many more print variations with experimentation and collaboration. All levels. Printmaking studio.
