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 Tuesday evenings for two weeks, July 5 and 12, from 6:30 to 9:30pm.

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

Please come with an idea or an image in mind for you print. We will be working on 7.5 by 10 inch blocks.

In this class, students will create richly coloured prints on t-shirts 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 both by hand and in a printing press. You will go home with a beautifully printed shirt!

In this fun 3-hour class you will create a richly layered one-of-a-kind print in full colour using cut and torn paper assembled into a printing plate. Paper relief is an easy technique for producing monoprints mixing bold solids with complex atmospheric textures. If you enjoy making papercuts, this is a way that you can use that traditional method in printmaking!

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 Tuesday evenings, October 4 and 11, from 6:30 to 9:30pm.

All materials are provided, including paper, and you will make an edition of six prints.

Collagraph is a printmaking method in which a collage is constructed onto a heavy card using paper, glue, and sand or grit, and then used as a matrix for printing. It’s a satisfyingly tactile way to create a printing plate, and textures as subtle as simple torn or cut pieces of paper can achieve beautifully rich and varied printed marks. In the first week we will focus on creating the plate, and in the second week you will learn how to ink and press your plate and will make an edition of at least four prints.

This class runs for two weeks on Wednesday nights, October 12 and 19, from 6:30 to 9:30pm.

All materials are provided, including paper. No printmaking experience is necessary. This is an easy and fun introduction to printmaking, particularly for people who enjoy working in collage or cut paper.

All materials, including paper, are provided, and you will leave the class with at least one beautiful finished print. Depending on how you choose to prepare your plates you may have time to finish more than one print.
