Beginning with a brief overview on the history of printmaking and physical examples, participants in this workshop will make a variety of colorful and unique prints from multiple linoleum blocks. We will work with acrylic ink in multiple colors, focused on layering, technique, and composition to create a wide variety of interesting prints. Participants will print from existing blocks to get the hang of the media and printing process, and will leave with newfound knowledge, artistic discovery, and the inspiration of creative play - and a fist full of prints!
This workshop is free and open to people of all ages and skill levels, and is limited to 30 participants. All participants must bring their own aprons, all other materials will be provided.
