About the workshop
Relief printmaking has countless applications for illustration and book arts, but it can often require expensive equipment, dangerous solvents, and lots of studio space. In this workshop, students will learn three methods for relief printmaking at home using solvent-free materials and a small tabletop press -- or even just a wooden spoon. Students will leave with a lino-cut print they pull in the demo, as well as the knowledge and supply list to make their own prints at home.
