Dive into the oldest printmaking process in this abbreviated workshop. Students will learn the basics of designing and transferring an image to the block and how to safely use the tools to cut the block to produce a relief image. Students will then learn how to transfer the image to paper printing by hand and by press. Both beginners and those with experience are welcome. Materials are provided with the fee; each participant will receive a woodblock for cutting and paper.
