Chinese Seal Printing Workshop

with Mary Swezey

Sat, Oct 25, 10 am – 4 pm

Studio School, 1st floor

After a brief discussion about the significance of the Chinese Seal (or Chop), students translate their name into Chinese characters on paper, transfer to a soft printmaking block (Safety Kut), and cut out the characters using carving tools. The carved block is then inked with a brayer and printed on greeting cards to frame or send. A materials fee of $15, payable to the instructor, will be collected at the beginning of the workshop.
