Doors Open: 6:45 PM
Block printing is one of the oldest forms of printmaking. It offers a relatively simple method for creating your own graphics and patterns, and thankfully only requires a handful of tools and supplies to produce your own prints. In this online version of our introduction to block printing class, you will create your own graphic or pattern design, then learn to transfer it to a Speedy Carve block to produce a linocut stamp. Next, you will experiment with using different water soluble inks and your new stamp as you print your image on a variety of surfaces, including nice cardstock, a Moleskine journal, and even a cotton tote bag! Each student will make one medium stamp and several prints in class, but will have the tools to make as many additional stamps and prints as they want!!
