Block Printing (New!)
Explore the possibilities of relief printmaking without a press. First, campers will develop a “shape vocabulary” from E-Z Cut blocks. Campers will roll these up in black ink, print them using hand-held barens or wooden spoons, then play with colored inks and transparency. Using the same materials and processes, these SummerPrep artists will learn traditional relief printmaking—linocut—by transferring drawings and designs to E-Z Cut blocks, then carving and printing them. Having worked with both graphic (high-contrast) imagery and layered tonal variation, campers will choose which direction to focus on or experiment with combining the two.
