Color Block Printing Workshop
Thursdays | October 14 through November 11 | 6-8 PM | Taught by Christa Carleton | $125
This class is suitable for people who have never made block prints and for those who have worked with the medium in singular colors before. We will learn how to make a puzzle-piece multiple color print from unmounted linoleum and how to make a color reduction block print. Students will learn how to print their images with an etching press and by hand for home printing. Realistically you should leave with at least 1 finished project but if you can take advantage of the print studio outside of class you should be able to finish both projects. Students who take this course will have access to the ZACC Print Shop outside of class during our regular business hours and, after the course ends, will have met the requirements for continued Print Shop access (regular Print Shop usage fees apply one full week after course ends).
