$110 plus $15 material fee to be paid to the instructor at the start of class

Discover the bold, tactile magic of relief printmaking with this introductory linocut workshop. You’ll learn about typical studio practices and work flows, how to safely handle carving gouges, experiment with mark-making, roll out ink, and hand burnish a print from your small practice block. After that you’ll prep your main block with a simple, graphic drawing. Then it’s carve, ink, print! as you create a finished edition of 4-6 titled and signed original prints to take home.

Bring With
If you have a Speedball linocut set or other linocut tools, please bring them along. You’ll also need a Bic pen or fine point Sharpie for design work, along with a sturdy metal spoon (or baren, if you have one) for burnishing.

Classroom Tools
Ink, brayers, inking slabs, and Speedball linocut tools will be provided for use during the workshop.

$15 Materials Kit: to be paid to the instructor at the start of class. The kit will include:
• a 3x4” soft lino practice block  
• a 4x6” soft lino main block
