In a supportive, creative environment Master printer Katya McCulloch will guide you in designing and printing a beautiful holiday card.
You will learn to design a bold image with attention to composition and positive / negative spaces, and you will transfer this to your linoleum block. Katya will demonstrate carving techniques so you can carve out the negative spaces in your transferred design.
You will be introduced to papers, inks, and tools and will learn procedures for inking, registration, and printing. You will leave the workshop with an elegant hand-printed card and the knowledge to be able to print more cards at home.
A $10 materials fee includes all supplies, and all experience levels are welcome.
