Ever wanted to make your own prints? Come learn easy printmaking techniques you can do in your own home. We’ll be exploring relief printmaking, also known as block printing. We’ll start with easy to carve rubber blocks, move on to linoleum blocks, and print our images by hand with thin Asian papers. We’ll also use a table-top Vandercook relief proofing press.
