Course Description:
This weekend workshop will focus on creating a portfolio exchange, a suite of prints with a fixed edition size, addressing a common theme. Portfolio exchanges are a great way to build a personal artwork collection, are a useful teaching tool, and allow participants to challenge themselves by working in new and different themes.
This class will explore relief printmaking using linoleum (linocut) and consistent printing techniques through editioning. Students will learn basic carving, inking, and printing skills to create a one or two layer linocut. Participants will collaboratively determine the portfolio exchange theme and create a small edition of prints. Class time will consist of demonstrations, hands-on, and instructor-assisted work time. This class is geared towards beginners, artists interested in editioning, and those who want to explore new themes or create a communal portfolio. Each participant will receive portfolio that includes one of each of the prints made during the class.
