Overview

Start with the basics of repetitive mark making, utilizing a variety of materials and surfaces that will encourage experimentation! We will then move to a more traditional printing technique of block printing where we will learn carving skills and create a small edition of prints. The last class will focus on bringing these 2 methods of printing together.
