Workshop description: This workshop is designed for beginning relief printmakers. We will be working with the linocut – a simple, yet sophisticated, form of relief (or block) print. We will use linocuts to explore line and mass, positive and negative space, pattern and composition in our creative work. We will learn to cut blocks and “pull” prints by hand, experimenting with a variety of papers (everything from paper bags to museum quality papers). We will compose solely in black and white (not color) and learn how to professionally present our finished work for sale and/or public display.

Discover your creative self in this unique class! Come learn to personalize your drawing or painting style while unleashing your creativity.
This class will explore a variety of approaches to help students find their own sources of art and inspiration. It is not a class about being shown a way of doing art but instead discovering your own way. Through a variety of hands-on activities and weekly homework assignments you will think about and discuss how and why you paint what you paint, while also listening to and getting to know your own artistic voice.
Supplies needed: A blank journal, pencil, and a readiness to explore
