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. They will learn take-home techniques for both relief printmaking and creating monotypes.
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.
