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 3-week 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.
