Explore the magic of Printmaking! Relief printmaking is the oldest and one of the most accessible types of printmaking. It is a type of art that utilizes the ability to create multiple copies of a unique design. During this workshop, participants will create their own prints as Ashley Gaboury leads them through the basic steps of carving, inking, and registering prints.
In addition to traditional paper prints, students will also explore how to apply printmaking techniques onto fabrics and collage papers, opening up new creative possibilities for mixed media projects and textile art. They will learn take-home techniques for relief and collagraph printmaking including methods that work well on fabric surfaces.
Students are encouraged to bring 4”x 6” printed images or drawings they’d like to print. We will be using Speedy-Carve blocks and water-based media, with some supplies included. Participants are welcome to bring additional Fabrics/Papers to print. Teens and adults welcome. Beginners welcome.
