During this introductory workshop participants will become acquainted with the relief printmaking process through making a linocut. Artists will create a design, transfer the design to a piece of linoleum, carve, and print a small edition of linocuts. This workshop will focus on proper tool usage and maintenance, inking strategies and procedures, and “at home printing.” By the end of this workshop, all participants will have a basic understanding of linocut and how to print in a professional print shop and at home. Most supplies will be provided.

Artist Statement:

Using printmaking and papermaking methods that are not entirely controllable, I respond to fortuitous visual elements through layering colors, textures, processes, and imagery. The materials reflect the visual qualities and movements observed in coral reefs, forests, and botanical gardens; the deep red of the Dragon's Heart Hibiscus and Heliconia, the textures of the flowering palms, and the gentle flow of the current under the surface of the ocean. By integrating aspects of taoist philosophy and meditative techniques into my studio practice, I utilize my unselfconscious state of mind to create works that reflect the subtleties found in nature to evoke contemplation, balance, and stillness in the minds of viewers.
