The Printmaking Workshop: Introduction to Block Printing

Learn the basics of block printing in our VALENTINES DAY worksohp. In this workshop you will design, carve, and print your own handmade artwork. You’ll create a simple design from your own hand-drawn elements, then transfer and carve it into a rubber block. We’ll practice printing on paper and experimenting with color and layout, before pulling a final polished print to take home. Along the way, you’ll explore how to ink and press your block for the best results, as well as how to print smaller pieces like cards or bookmarks that you can gift or display.
Guest Instructor: Angelique Guina, the Seattle-based printmaker behind ACGUINA ART.
