Saturday, July 18th and Sunday, July 19th
1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Ready, set, carve! In this two-day workshop, you will learn the basic techniques of linocut relief printmaking. We will use simplified materials and processes so you can easily continue your printmaking practice at home. You'll carve and print a series of small rubber blocks and you'll leave with handmade stamps of your own creation. Use your imagination to create your own designs and then bring them to life! This workshop is beginner friendly: no experience is necessary and all supplies will provided. Be prepared to handle sharp tools and get a little messy!
For ages 16+
