In this class you’ll learn the basics of carving and printing a relief print from a linoleum block. You will design and carve your own block and learn how to print it by hand as well as on a press, and will leave the class with an edition of six completed prints. You will have the option to print your block in one colour, or to try selectively inking your block to make a two colour print in one press run.

This class runs Wednesday evenings for two weeks, September 2 and 9, from 7 to 9pm.

No printmaking experience is required, and all materials, including paper, are provided.

This class will cover a variety of methods for creating a one of a kind print, including paper relief, using stencils with inked woodblocks, chine-collé, and printing from fabric and other objects. It's a fun hands-on exploration of the printed mark, and you don't need to have any printmaking experience! You will leave the class with at least one or two finished prints.

In this class, students will create richly coloured prints on fabric using linoleum, woodblocks, rollers, and letterpress blocks. We will cover some of the challenges of printing on fabric versus paper, and use pre-cut blocks and other print matrices to experiment with printing on fabrics both by hand and in a printing press. You will go home with a beautifully printed .5 metre x .5 metre square of fabric to enjoy as is or to use in future projects.

Trace monotype is a direct transfer method of printmaking that creates a one-of-a-kind printed image entirely by hand. It uses minimal space and tools and can be done at your kitchen table, yet produces a complex layering of rich, atmospheric marks. It can be combined with other methods of printmaking to add a unique hand drawn quality to your editions. Even if you don't feel that drawing is your strong point, you can create beautiful trace monotypes.

In this class you will learn the basics of how to create a two-colour silkscreen print on paper. We will cover: making positives or transparencies, exposing images on a screen, how to register (line up) your printing, and pulling prints.

This class runs for two weeks on Monday evenings, November 2 and 9, from 6:30 to 9:30pm.
