Beginning Linoleum Block Printing (TWD052612)

Kate Anderson

May 26-27
Sat-Sun, 12-4pm
Jax Member $81 / General Public $100/ Deposit $20

Learn how to design and develop a relief print by carving a linoleum block.  Students will learn techniques for carving the block, how to ink up and print the block and how to sign and edition the finished prints.

Time will be devoted to creative inking techniques of the plate to create different effects in the creation of a print. Also, time will be spent trouble shooting any problems students may encounter and how to overcome them in a creative way. Students will come away from class with multiple prints, and will have enough skills to be able to continue printmaking at home.

Additional DescriptionMore Details

No prior printmaking experience is required, but students should come prepared with ideas for a 5” x 7” print such as a black and white drawing or photograph. There is a materials fee which includes a 5” x 7” linoleum block, a carving tool set, a 4” brayer, a tube of relief ink and paper for printing.

Minimum enrollment: 3, Maximum enrollment: 10
Beginner ● Materials Fee: $25 ● Minimum Age: 16

Students under the age of 18 MUST have a waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian before class commences.

Kate Anderson has a B.A. in studio art from Hollins University with a concentration in oil painting and printmaking. An avid lover of nature, Anderson has always been looking for greener techniques for making art even before it became trendy. By combining repeatable images with stencils, direct-mark making and layered color, Kate creates complex and experimental prints. Kate’s work can be found at her printmaking studio, Appalachian Artist Press at the Jacksonville Center for the Arts.
