Intro To Block Printing: Carve & Print Your Own Designs *PRIDE*

Block printing is one of the oldest forms of printmaking. It offers a simple method for creating your own graphics and patterns, and thankfully only requires a handful of tools and supplies to produce your own prints. In our introduction to blockprinting workshop, you will take your own graphic or pattern design, then learn to transfer it to a Speedy Carve block to produce a linocut stamp. Each student will make one large stamp or two small speedyball rubber stamps and several prints featuring your block print designs. We use Akua ink for an all nautral soybean oil approach. 

*Pride Edition: this is intended to be a queer (LGBTQ+) friendly space. We will enccourage designs in honor of pride month, but not limited to only being so.
