Description
In this two-day, eight-hour class, students will take a deep dive into multiple block printmaking. Through a series of demos, artists will learn the steps and planning the steps necessary to create a multiple-color print edition or collection of identical prints, how to use a jig system to keep their prints crisp and colors aligned, how to break an image into color components, as well as how to present their finished work. Students will carve multiple blocks- 2 or 3 to achieve their work. Participants will come away with many skills and a beautiful edition of prints they will be proud of.
