Printmaking Workshop

Program Overview

Participants of this workshop will have a chance to create prints using two printmaking techniques: solar plate etching and reduction linocut. This class is for beginners and experienced students alike.

Solar plate etching is a completely non-toxic innovation in printmaking that retains the rich range of intaglio mark making. Learn how to make traditional intaglio etchings without any acids or chemicals, using only the power of the sun. Reduction linocut, first developed by Picasso, involves successively cutting away portions of the linoleum block after you have printed from the block in each color (reducing the block after each stage).

The course covers selecting suitable imagery, transferring the image to the linoleum block, managing the cutting and proofing stages and correct registration of paper and block to get accurately aligned prints.
