In this special four-week workshop, participants will explore the unique

art of reduction relief printmaking. Acclaimed guest artist, Tomoko

Murakami, will demonstrate how to create multi-color prints from a

single linoleum block. The main idea is to gradually carve away parts of

the block and print each new layer of color, with each layer building

on the previous one. The course covers the entire process, from

designing and planning, to carving techniques, inking, registration, and

printing with both hand and printing press methods. Participants will

learn to explore the possibilities of color mixing and layering,

enabling students to achieve intricate designs and a wide range of

visual effects. You will gain an understanding of the materials,

processes, and innovations involved in this unique form of relief print

printing!

All levels are welcome, including continuing linocut students. 

Please note: This

class requires hand dexterity to maneuver the carving tool.

Participants should feel comfortable standing, and using tools with

sharp blades and edges.
