Relief Printmaking Workshop

Ages 14+

December 2, December 9 from 10am-1pm

Learn all the basics of relief block printing in this 2-day introductory workshop. On day one, we’ll cover the materials and tools for traditional block carving and use “easy carve” blocks. Workshop artisits will receive tips for transferring their design to the plate and how to use their carving tools. Once the carving stage is complete, students will learn how to effectively ink up and hand print their block on paper and print until the end of the session. For day two, we’ll learn about linoleum block carving, which is more versatile and can hold their shape better. Students will have the class to carve and then get an overview of printing using a traditional press.

At the end of class, students will have a number of prints, an understanding of these two different types of carving blocks, and all the know-how to keep printing at home.

scholarships & aid

FAVA reviews and considers all application for scholarship assistance. While we may not be able to provide a complete scholarship to all those who request it, we are committed to making our classes available to as many people as possible – regardless of individual financial circumstances. For this reason, it is important that all scholarship requests are received well in advance of the class starting date, so we may allocate our available funds accordingly. We may consider any of the following factors when determining eligibility for scholarships:

Annual family income
Individual or special circumstances
Whether the applicant qualifies for the National Free/Reduced Price School Lunch program
(for students age 18 & younger)

**FAVA also encourages applicants to consider partial scholarship assistance, in which case the student only pays some portion of the class tuition.

All information will be kept confidential and will be used solely to determine the amount of scholarship assistance to be provided.
