11:00am-3:00pm
This course covers the basics of relief printing using linoleum blocks. After viewing and discussing example prints, students will have time to create a drawing that they’ll transfer onto their block. The instructor will give a demonstration on the safe use of linocutting tools and various techniques for carving.
When their blocks are carved, students will be guided through the process of inking and printing them using an etching press. Everyone will leave with an edition of linocut prints and a strong understanding of the medium.
All supplies will be provided for this course.
