Learn to carve a block of wood, ink it, and create an exciting woodblock print in this hands-on, relaxed class. Not only will you create a woodblock carving which can be used to create multiple prints, but the wood itself can be a beautiful work to display and alter into a new artwork. Students will carve a unique woodblock, and may make a series of up to 4 prints from their woodblock during class. Students can bring their own 6" x 8" drawing to create their series, or designs will be provided--no prior artistic experience required!
Participants will learn about necessary concepts and techniques like utilizing positive and negative space, and mirror image thinking as they carve their woodblock. Professional artist and experienced teacher, Gretchen Weitemier, will be your guide.
All supplies are included. While all students should be able to carve independently with sharp chisels after instructions on safe use, all experience levels are welcome!
Upcoming session themes to inspire your work (although creativity is always welcome!):
- 4/19: Spring Birds, Bugs, & Flowers
- 7/12: Summer Critters in the Sun
- 10/18: Fall/Winter Harvest & Holidays
Optional items to bring with you:
- Layered clothing, as the temperatures may be difficult to manage in the building
- Water/beverage with lid
Optional items to bring:
- A 6" x 8" drawing to use as your design (designs will also be provided for inspiration and to transfer onto your woodblock)
If a minimum of 3 participants is not reached, the class may be rescheduled.
Ages 16+ are welcome! Registration is $90. Register here:
