Come learn to carve your own relief print!
Relief printing is a method of printmaking where a design is produced by cutting away the negative space of the design. The raised surface that remains uncarved is known as the relief and is the positive image. The relief is then inked and pressed onto the print material to create the printed image. In other words, it’s carving your own stamp!
We’ll start by going over the basic principles and then you’ll have time to practice and come up with your own design (or choose from some provided examples). From there we’ll move onto how to transfer your design, carving your design, and then inking!
The 4x6 blocks we'll be using are perfect for cards, bookmarks, patches, and more! We'll primarily be focusing on printing in one color, but there is the possibility of exploring techniques for using multiple blocks and colors. Ideally, you’ll be walking out of class with a stamp (or two!), some printed versions, and ideas of how to continue creating at home.
All materials and tools provided!
Please wear dark clothing and/or clothing you don’t mind potentially getting ink on, snacks if you’d like, and anything else to make yourself comfortable!
No previous experience necessary and all skill levels welcome! (All ages welcome, however we will be using somewhat sharp tools to carve, so children should have some adult supervision.)
