Create and take home an edition of 6 multi-layered reduction relief prints! In this workshop, you’ll carve a design in stages into a soft, easy-to-cut block. After each carving step, you’ll apply ink and print onto paper, building layers of color and detail one at a time. With each stage, more of the block is carved away. By the end, you’ll have 6 identical layered prints!

REGISTRATION DETAILS
Registration and payment may be completed through this website. You will receive an introductory email the week of your workshop from your instructor.
WORKSHOP TRANSFERS, CANCELLATIONS, & REFUNDS
Our workshops are intentionally small to ensure each participant receives personalized instruction and access to Highpoint's studios and equipment. Because we commit to our teaching artists and prepare materials in advance, cancellations can have a significant impact on our ability to run a workshop.
If you need to make a change to your registration, please contact Jo Johannsen at jo@highpointprintmaking.org or call 612-278-4162.
TRANSFERS
If you're no longer able to attend, we encourage you to transfer your registration whenever possible.
Transfer to another workshop: You may transfer your registration to another Highpoint workshop up to 7 days before your workshop, subject to availability. If the new workshop has a different tuition rate, you will be responsible for paying the difference or will receive a refund for the difference, if applicable.
Transfer to another person: If you're unable to attend, you may transfer your registration to a friend or family member at any time at no additional charge. Please email Jo with the new participant's name and email address before the workshop begins.

Less than 7 days before your workshop: Refunds are not available. However, you may transfer your registration to another person as described above.
The $25 processing fee is waived if Highpoint cancels the workshop.
WORKSHOP CANCELLATIONS BY HIGHPOINT
