Instructor: Carl Nanoff
Skill Level: Previous printmaking experience is helpful. Woodcut relief experience is not necessary.
This workshop will demonstrate numerous possibilities for reductive woodcut printmaking. Participants will learn a very expressive medium through demonstrations, discussions, and work time. Participants will design, carve and print two small editions of prints. Students will learn best studio practices, the fundamentals of image transfer, carving techniques, stencil use, selective inking, and registration techniques. This process will utilize both hand printing and an etching press. This will not be a traditional approach to woodcuts. It will be inventive and spontaneous, direct and simple. Using a variety of methods, participants will be encouraged to discover their own creative approach to woodcuts.
