Intermediate Linocut Printmaking (This class is only offered twice a year!)
Adult Multi-Week | FULL
Students will build upon prior knowledge of relief printmaking. This class is an ‘open study’ for students to explore possibilities in this craft that may be out of their comfort zone. Examples include: very large prints, prints on fabric, reduction linocuts, fine details, jigsaw prints, nontraditional carving tools and more.
- Students should already know how to carve and be ready to work on more advanced skills/ hone in on their craft! Please come to class with your own set of carving tools, the surface you'll be carving into, and ideas! Don't hesitate to contact the instructor for ideas, suggestions, tool lists, etc.
Accessibility notes: Many artmaking processes require the ability to sit or stand for extended periods of time, fine motor skills/finger dexterity, repetitive motions, vision, and some amount of physical strength. VisArts values making classes accessible to everyone, and is always happy to work with students to make accommodations when possible. Please reach out to info@visarts.org with specific questions related to accessibility or accommodations.
Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
