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 for two weeks on Saturday afternoons, April 1 and 8, from 1 to 4pm.

In this class, students will create richly coloured prints on t-shirts using linoleum, woodblocks, rollers, and letterpress blocks.

You will go home with a beautifully printed shirt!
