Printmaking | Woody Woodcock | All Levels | All-Day Class | Week 2 (July 13-17, 2026)
This class is designed to learn the fundementals of block printing. Students will complete multiple images. We will start with black and white to learn how to cut the block to create our image that will be inked up with a roller (brayer) and then pressed onto paper to produce a handmade block (relief) print. If time permits we will explore the color reduction method to create a color image from the block.
There is a materials fee of $50.00 to cover inks, paper and blocks which students will use in class. All other materials will be furnished by the instructor to use.
