In this six-week introductory course, students will learn to make relief prints using wood as their matrix. After familiarization to the requisite tools, equipment, techniques, and some print examples, students will have the opportunity to create a single color white line woodcut followed by a multiple color reductive woodcut.
Most materials, including easy to carve birch plywood, inks, and a limited amount of paper will be provided. Each student will need to purchase a set of carving tools ($40-$80), but this also means that students can carve their blocks outside of class! Tool recommendations provided upon registration.
