In this workshop students will be introduced to the wonderful world of printmaking through linocut. Students will learn the history, tools, and unique skills required by the craft to create a strong composition and cohesive design. The workshop will guide students from start to finish through the planning process, helping them navigate the unique way in which designs are planned in the "reverse".  Next, we will take an in depth look at the carving process, working through carving techniques and common errors to avoid. Lastly, we will get our hands dirty by experimenting with the printing process. Upon completion, students will have their very own reproducible linocut print.

There will be a 1-hour lunch break. Bring a lunch or explore local dining options.
