Beginner class: Friday, Sept 4. Intermediate Class: Sunday, Sept 13.
Both classes run 7-9pm
The beginner-friendly class will introduce you to the fundamentals of linocutting and block printing using bold, classic black ink. You'll learn how to safely handle carving tools, transfer a design onto linoleum, carve your image step by step, and ink and press your block to pull your own hand-printed piece. By the end of class, you'll walk away with your own carved block and a set of original prints.
The intermediate class builds on basic carving skills and dives into designing repeating patterns and working with multiple colors. You'll explore how to plan a pattern block, and experiment with layering inks to create depth and visual rhythm in your prints. You'll leave with new techniques to expand your printmaking practice.
