Introduction to Woodcuts

This workshop focuses on the fundamentals of woodcut printing, the oldest of the printmaking processes. Developed in the ninth century, this graphic process appeals to many contemporary artists. View a variety of woodcut prints then watch the instructor demonstrate how to carve a woodblock. With guidance from the teacher, students design, transfer, cut, ink and print a small edition of woodcut prints. Participants should bring sketches or photographs to work from. Materials will be provided.
