Information

Relief Printing is one of the oldest forms of printmaking and is widely loved for its unique aesthetic and accessibility to all levels of printmakers. This course consists of three classes in which students will be introduced to a variety of carving and printing techniques. Students will be assisted in adapting their own personal designs/ drawings to fit the look of block printing. The class will have hands-on instruction when using our Charles Brand Etching Press to run their full editions of prints.
