This class will take you through the stepby-step process of making a relief print using Speedy Cut, a product like linoleum but easier to cut. Students will create a nature-inspired design, learn to transfer the design to the Speedy Cut block, carve the block, ink the block, and create an edition of prints. At the end of the class students will have the opportunity to participate in a “print exchange” with your fellow students. You will leave the class with your own prints as well as a collection of prints by others. Most materials are provided. Prerequisite: basic drawing skills
