Carve a linoleum surface to produce a printing block, then use on different kinds of paper to explore the range of looks and the quality of multiples that this method can provide. Linoleum block printing is a form of relief, the oldest kind of printmaking, where the raised parts of the block transfer ink while the parts to be left un-inked are removed.

Short classes make parking a breeze! $1 for 2.5 hours at Structure 6, right around the corner.
