Relief Printing with Chris McKinney
Class | Available
Relief printing is one of the earliest printmaking techniques. In this class students will learn how to design, carve and print linoleum and wood prints, printing by hand and with a press. Students will learn single and multi layered prints as well as reductive printing. With the skills learned, participants will be able to continue printing at home with no special equipment. No experience necessary and no drawing skills required. Beginners welcome, as well as those with experience in the medium; each student will receive individual attention at his or her level.
