Make your own printmaking “studio” at home and learn the foundations of making linoleum relief prints without a press. Explore conceptualizing and utilizing positive/negative spaces to carve out designs on your fancy “stamp,” learn proper carving and inking methods, monotone, gradations, and multicolor strategies, and approaches for labeling and managing singular and multiple prints. Practice to perfect your technique and then create a “final” series (small collection) of prints. Beginners and experienced students will find inspiration in this class. Please note: A supply list will be emailed once the class has reached minimum enrollment.
