REVOLUTIONARY PRINTMAKING w/ DANIEL DRENNAN ELAWAR

6-week, Fridays, 5:30-8:30PM — October 2 through November 6

The broadside or poster serves as an important historical printed record and archive of prevailing customs and culture, as well as resistance to dominant cultural norms. In this class, students will conduct photo and lettering research, design and carve linoleum blocks, and print a small run of a one-color poster.
