Printmaking Tuesday Nights - October
Printmaking: Reductions
Instructor: Heidi Peters
Tuesdays in October; 6-8pm
October 4, 11, 18, 25
Description:
Explore the art of relief printmaking with carved linoleum blocks. Printmaking is a wonderful medium who feel they "aren't good at drawing". And if you ARE good at drawing, printmaking forces you to think in reverse which is a great creative exercise. You will follow several steps including transferring a design, carving, inking, and making multiple prints from a block.
For the October session, we will be doing one project across all four weeks to explore the reduction technique. All work can be completed during class. Ink and inking equipment will be provided. Participants should bring:
