This is our third time running the Reductive Woodcut class. Just one student this time, which means she gets private instruction for the (lower) price of a group class. Summer is a slow time for classes, so we really appreciate anyone willing to give up a couple of precious summer porch evenings in order to come in and learn something amazing with us.

Here’s our student’s inked block getting ready to print: it’s a portrait of Frida Kahlo in a style that reminds me of Byzantine icons. Gorgeous, and it gave the student and I a chance to share our love of Kahlo’s work and our excitement about having recently seen the Kahlo and Rivera in Detroit exhibition at the DIA.

No shots of the print this week, because it’s impossible to see or photograph any detail in an all-yellow print. Stay tuned for next week when we print the second colour (and possibly the third, if we work quickly)!
