Linoleum Block Printing (Wednesday)

Discover the creative possibilities and explore the versatility of linoleum block printing. Starting with the fundamentals of designing, carving, and printing from a single block, we will build toward more advanced techniques, including multi-block printing, color mixing, chine collé, and reduction printing. We'll cover how to translate reference images into successful block prints and develop strong compositions while learning inking, registration, and editioning techniques. Through demonstrations, guided projects, and individual feedback, we will gain the skills and confidence to create a series of original prints. Open to all levels.
