What a Relief | Ages 10-12

Concept and Experience

In this workshop, young artists learn the basics of the oldest form of printmaking - relief. Relief prints are made by cutting away material on a soft block to create a printable surface with positive and negative areas. Learn how to design an image, carve safely, mix ink, and print successfully. Students create enough prints to bring home, as well as trade with their classmates. Historical and contemporary printmakers provide inspiration throughout the week.
