Learn how to print holiday cards using your own hand-cut linoleum block!
Class Description:
Beginners and experienced relief printmakers are welcome to join us for this fun, 3.5-hour class.
Linocut printmaking is a flexible and simple way to create relief prints. Once you have carved a block, it can be used again and again.
In this class, we will cover the basics: image preparation and transfer methods, sharpening and care of tools, carving methods, paper and ink preparation, color-mixing, rolling out ink with brayers, registration techniques, printing on a portable press and by hand.
We will print with non-toxic, water-soluble inks. Linoleum cutters, brayers, pencils and other tools will be available to borrow for the class period.
Classes are small, with lots of individual attention and are designed for all levels of ability.
What to Bring:
Bring image ideas for your holiday cards, such as sketches, drawings, text, photographs, photocopies and an apron or smock for printing in. Try to keep designs simple, to allow you time to cut your block, mix ink and print.
Participation Cost:
The class fee also includes the following materials: a 4 x 6 “ linoleum block, ink, tracing/transfer materials, acetate, newsprint and 8 quality cards (80 lb/216 gsm) with envelopes.
*Note: Taxes include VT 6% & Town of Wilmington 1% sales tax rates
Registration: Please sign up by Thursday, December 3rd.
Class Date & Time:
Sunday, December 6th , from 1-4:30 pm
