Deadline to register: November 1, 2026. Level: Beginner. This class will cover an introductory overview to the process of relief printmaking, its history, various methods, and producing multiples through printing. Students will complete one print (image) to entirety over their time in this course. You will have the option to create one block to print from using either linoleum or birch plywood. You will produce 6-8 quality prints of this image and experiment with printing by hand and on a small press. We will examine material choices, image/composition decision making, drawing techniques, transfer techniques, carving, printing, tool care, print studio practices, and DIY methods. Students will have the option to explore their own style and creative interests within their imagery.
