Block (Relief) Printing
Join us to learn about relief printmaking! Relief prints are created by cutting away material on a linoleum block to create a printable surface with positive and negative (cut-away) areas. Once cut, ink is rolled onto the block surface and transferred onto paper. In this workshop we will create single-color relief block prints. After the programs, the equipment will be developed into a kit to be shared between branches for future program use.

Patrons will learn the basics of how to do block printing and a short history of the art form. Patrons will also be able to make and take home their own piece or pieces of art work.
