Happy Hand-printed Holidays Linocut Workshop with Inbal Newman

This one-day workshop focuses on simple techniques of relief printing to create a series of holiday cards to show off and share with loved ones. Throughout the class participants will learn to carve linoleum blocks, print test proofs, take rubbings of seasonal found materials, and print an edition using water-based block printing ink. Materials will be provided, though participants are encouraged to bring flat, textured objects for printing like leaves, pine needles, fabric, etc. (keeping in mind objects will end up covered with ink). Everyone will leave the workshop with about 10 cards and some newsprint to let cards to dry overnight.
