About
In this class, you will learn the basics of woodcut printmaking, a technique that dates back thousands of years. We will learn the steps to produce woodcut prints from beginning to end, including designing an image, carving a block, inking the block, and producing prints. We will focus on printing by hand using Japanese printmaking paper, but you will have the opportunity to use the press with thicker, Western-style printmaking papers if desired.
Details
- You are encouraged to bring ideas for what you would like to print to class.
- Bring a lunch; BARN has a microwave and refrigerator you can use.

We will design, carve, and print 6" x 9" woodcut prints.
