Explore the ancient form of relief printmaking done by carving a wood block surface to create dynamic prints! Through hands-on demonstrations and guided instruction, you will learn the fundamentals of image-making on the block, carving, inking (non-toxic inks), and various printing techniques. The act of carving with gouges, transformed by adding pressure and ink on paper, gives these prints its distinctive graphic nature. With an emphasis on contemporary art, this class will also briefly examine the history of relief printmaking, including examples from the instructor’s personal print collection. Instructional handouts will be provided. No previous printmaking experience is required, and all skill levels are welcome.
