BLOCK PRINTING: BEYOND BASICS (5 x 2.5-hour sessions)
Get to know the medium of block printing in this 5 week course! Participants will be introduced to the basic techniques of block printing, then expand their knowledge with additional tools and tricks to create more advanced hand printed designs. We will explore different printing inks, carving surfaces, and paper choices as well as experimenting with adding color and other mediums to your finished prints. Students will keep their carved designs and receive suggestions on where to purchase additional materials to keep creating at home! Suitable for beginner to intermediate students.
