BLOCK PRINTING: BEYOND THE BASICS (class is full)
Day 1: January 25, 10-2
Day 2: February 1, 10-2
$160 (+$30 supply fee)

This class is for those of you who have continued block printing after our first workshop. You are comfortable cutting lino and you want to take your printmaking to the next level. We will focus on expanding your skills and adding color! We will use the safe wash inks that I love - the prints look so amazing with these inks! We will design a larger print and use a variety of quality paper. We will take our time, focusing on mark making using the battleship grey lino or the rubber lino (your choice) and dedicating our time to creating a beautiful piece of art.

Day 1: January 25 (10-2): We will review the processes of layering blocks and jigsaw printmaking. We will review sharpening your tools. (I go over this in the beginner block printing class but now we will put it to use!) We will design our block(s) and then being carving. You will take this home and continue on your own until we meet the following week.

Day 2: February 1 (10-2): We begin this class with a test print. We will critique each others test prints and continue working on the lino until we are ready to print! Critiquing each others work is so valuable! It really helps you grow as an artist and printmaker. I love this part of the creating process!

Supply Fee Covers: a variety of quality papers to print on, all tools including a brayer, cutting tools and more. I encourage the use of Cranfield Safe Wash inks however, water based inks will also be available. You will need cutting tools and a slip strop when you work from home.

Come prepared to deepen your practice, refine your techniques, and walk away with a finished piece you’ll be proud of!
