Block Printing with Susana McDonnell

A day-long printmaking workshop, where we will explore the world of block printing with local artist Susana McDonnell, a.k.a. Linocave.
About this Event

Susana will demonstrate some basic carving and printing techniques and introduce us to all of the fun materials. Each person will then be able to hard-carve their own blocks into a soft rubber matrix.

In the first part of the workshop, we will create a set of 6-8 greeting cards using stamps that we make. After the lunch break, you'll be able to create a larger piece on paper. Susana will teach us how to mix and match shapes and layer different colors to create your own beautiful design.

This workshop is beginner-friendly, and also a great follow-up if you have attended one of our introductory printmaking workshops before.

Your ticket includes:

  • All supplies needed for the workshop
  • A set of 4 blank greeting cards and envelopes to print on and take home with you
  • Individualized instruction from local artist Susana McDonnell
  • Soft drinks, tea, and snacks. (Please bring your own lunch, or you can get take-out from one of our neighboring restaurants.)

Space is very limited to ensure that each participant gets one-on-one support from Susana. Advance registration required.

In the event that a workshop is canceled due to instructor illness, inclement weather, or low enrollment, we will notify all participants via email as soon as possible and issue a full refund.
