This multi-part workshop — suitable for beginners — introduces basic design principles for successful block print design. We will discuss carving techniques to achieve a variety of textures. Participants will design a landscape using multiple printing blocks to create a three colour print (white plus two ink colours). Participants will have the opportunity to print four copies of their original design. All tools and materials supplied for use during the workshop.
Class 1 (June 11): Designing, beginning to carve
Class 2 (June 18): First printed layer, additional carving
Class 3 (June 25): Final carving, second printed layer
