About
Explore the art of relief printing using battleship linoleum as your block and create a multi-color design by "reducing" the printable area for each color. This method is economical for printmakers since you only use one block, but also stretches your creativity by layering the colors in a specific way. You'll learn how to create an image appropriate for block printing, safe carving techniques, and how to print your block using the etching press. A great introduction to the principles of printmaking, and all prints and carved blocks can be taken home at the end of class!
