Cost: $300.00 for class

Experiment with nontraditional woodcut techniques that yield
contemporary, expressive results. Building a vocabulary of marks with
hand tools on wood blocks, participants will create plates of
information to be used in conjunction with one another, or with
already existing plates or prints . A dialogue will ensue between the
carving and printing processes as layers of colored inks of varying
degrees of transparency are printed and overprinted with carved
blocks,and stenciled shapes .
Proper care and sharpening of tools will be demonstrated.This is an
innovative way of approaching wood block printmaking that can have the
immediacy of collage yet with the possibility of multiples , work in
a series, or in variations on themes for which printmaking is renown.
