Intermediate Relief Printmaking

Printmaking Workshop: Arts 636-01 Kate Knox

This workshop will build on the foundational techniques taught in Intro to Relief Printmaking as we explore intermediate to advanced relief printmaking techniques – including multi-block color woodcuts, 6-color reduction linocuts, strategies for adding color to relief prints with monotype and large format prints. Students will become adept at color separation, layering transparent color, registration techniques and planning a project in steps. As they broaden their knowledge of press maintenance, ink modification and carving tool care, students will acquire an expanded printmaking skillset as well as an understanding of how to maintain a print studio using ecologically safe and monetarily efficient studio practices.
