Beginning Printmaking - Lionocut/Collage
2025-06-25 10:00 - 14:00 (America/Boise)
June 25 (Wed) and 28 (Sat): Beginning Printmaking – Linocut/collage.

*Classes are Wed and Saturday, Saturday being a repeat of Wednesday’s class

*Each class is $45, all materials provided

*Classes are 10:00-2:00 but some people stay later to make more prints

*I only take three students for each class for optimal printing opportunities!

*You will need to bring lunch and water and three drawings specific to the class.

Students will learn about the materials for making linocuts and techniques for carving their 4X6 linocuts. We will also learn about ink applications and printing linocuts. Each student will make an edition of 5 linocut prints. Additionally, we will make collages and then print our linocuts on the collages to create color spots and texture. If you are interested in any of these classes, please email me: lwinmacd2@gmail.com. These classes fill up quickly, so let me know as soon as possible!
