November 23-24 | WEEKEND INTENSIVE: Block Printing (2 Days)

First 3 students who enroll get a $25 discount off our registration fee ($170 instead of $195)!

Relief prints are created by carving an image into a block of wood or linoleum, adding ink to the surface, and transferring the inked image onto paper.

In this weekend class, students will spend Saturday learning to plan and carve their own blocks. They can take their blocks home to finish carving and bring them back on Sunday to print. Students will learn techniques for inking and printing blocks with a press and by hand, as well as ways to bring color into their work.

December 7-8 | WEEKEND INTENSIVE: Monotype Printing (2 Days)

First 3 students who enroll get a $25 discount off our registration fee ($195 for 2 days)!

Monotyping is printmaking in a very pure form: the transfer of ink to a singular image that cannot be duplicated. Monotypes are unique, precious, “one-of-one” and the process of creating them is ripe for experimentation, play, and working quickly through ideas and iterations.

Students will learn techniques in both oil-based and water-based inks that resemble everything from delicate watercolor to chunky fingerpaint and fine ballpoint pen. Participants will also learn to work with “ghost” prints and templates to create variable editions, as well as unique and collaborative prints as a class.

Come surprise yourself and each other with the possibilities of this generous and flexible medium!
