Block printing is one of the oldest forms of printmaking. It offers a simple method for creating your own graphics and patterns, and thankfully only requires a handful of tools and supplies to produce your own prints. In our introduction to block printing workshop, you will take your own graphic or pattern design (or use one of the images in the studio), then learn to transfer it to a Speedy Carve block to produce a linocut stamp. Next, you will practice printing with water soluble ink and your new stamp as you print your image on several prints featuring your block print designs to take home. The second block we will use two different colors with an image you brought or an image that is provided in class.
Supplies Needed: Please come to class with a design for your stamp already drawn or printed out, or you can use one of the images the studio will have on hand. Make sure your image is no bigger than 5 × 7. As part of this class, you will receive two blocks for your stamp, and all printing and transferring supplies are provided. Also, students are encouraged to wear clothes they can get grungy since we’ll be working with block print ink. No experience necessary.
