About

Learn the art of relief printing in this simple beginner workshop. We'll use soft carve linoleum as our block and create a one-color design to be printed during the workshop. This five-hour workshop is a great introduction to the principles of printmaking. All prints and carved blocks can be taken home at the end of the class. You'll also leave with the skills needed to create your own prints at home!

You will:
  • Create an image appropriate for block printing
  • Learn safe carving techniques
  • Create hand burnished original prints

    • Project

    Students will be making a linoleum block carving and creating several one color prints on paper.

    Materials

    All materials will be provided but you should bring your design ideas or sketches to class.

    Class Policies

    Ages 14 and up are welcome.

    There will be a 30-minute lunch break around 12:30. BARN has a mini kitchen with a refrigerator where you can store a sack lunch.

    Dana Seeger

    Dana Harris Seeger was born in San Francisco and split her childhood between California and Indiana. She pursued her passion in high school and college and received a bachelor's degree in painting from Anderson University in Indiana in 2004 and a master's in fine arts in printmaking from San Jose State University in 2011. She is a member of the California Society of Printmakers. In 2014, Dana co-created an art studio and school in San Jose, Calif., called the School of Visual Philosophy. Her work in printmaking and painting helps her connect real to imagined memories and her life experiences to her heritage. Growing up as a second-generation Baltic American, she has always tried to connect the artifacts acquired from Estonia and Latvia into her own story. She lives in Poulsbo with her husband (a sculptor), daughter, and twin sons.

    Land Acknowledgment

    “Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove, has been hallowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished.” – Chief Seattle 1854

    We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabs̆ “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). Expert fisherman, canoe builders and basket weavers, the suq̀ʷabs̆ live in harmony with the lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ʷabs̆ live and protect the land and waters of their ancestors.
