Nature-Inspired Block Printing

This class will provide steps and skills for creating your own linoleum block prints with an emphasis on drawing from nature as inspiration.

The instructor will introduce the basics of printmaking, and, if requested, demonstrate the multiple block method for creating a print with more than one color. Students may also use watercolor paints (provided) for adding color to their final prints.
