Block Printing Workshop
Reductive block prints are a classic form of printmaking that allows artists to create multiple variations of the same artwork. An image is carved into an easy-to-cut rubber block, inked up, and then printed or stamped onto a piece of paper. This process is repeated with each subsequent layer of color, gradually reducing the block as it is continually carved away. Once the necessary sequence is learned, it is a process that can easily be repeated at home to create original artwork, cards, scrapbook designs, original fabric patterns, and more! In an interest to focus on teaching to process of block printing, students will all be following a step-by-step demonstration and printing the same simple image. Cost includes professional instruction, studio time and use of supplies. Space is limited to 10 students. Enrollment is done on a first come, first served basis. Sunday, Feb 24th | 4:00-7:00pm $65/student Sign up Now! |
