November 2-3 | WEEKEND INTENSIVE: Block Printing (2 Days)

First 3 students who enroll get a $25 discount off our registration fee ($195 for 2 days)!

Relief prints are created by carving an image into a block of wood or linoleum, adding ink to the surface, and transferring the inked image onto paper.

In this weekend class, students will spend Saturday learning to plan and carve their own blocks. They can take their blocks home to finish carving and bring them back on Sunday to print. Students will learn techniques for inking and printing blocks with a press and by hand, as well as ways to bring color into their work.

November 10 | Lino Block Printing (1-Day)

This class is free or you can pay what you can as a donation to Spudnik!

Relief printmaking dates as far back as the 7th century and is considered the oldest form of printmaking. An image is carved into a block of wood or linoleum, which is then inked and pressed to transfer the image. The tools are simple and approachable, but the possibilities are expansive.

In Basic Relief Printing, students will plan, carve, and print a linoleum block. The class guides students through the process of transferring an image onto their block and techniques for creating line, shape, contrast, and texture. By the end of class, students will print their images by hand, taking home a small edition.

This class is FREE and open to the public. Registration is required to manage the number of participants and prepare the materials needed for the workshop. Donations are welcome and absolutely optional, and will help Spudnik Press with its operational expenses.

About the Campaign:

Make At Spudnik is a series of 1-day workshops that is free and open to the public, as an effort to reach more print-curious audiences and provide an opportunity for interested participants to experience printmaking basics without the financial barrier to learning. This month, we are inviting you to join us for a 1-Day Drypoint Printing class led by Teaching Artist Anna Wagner.
