Woodcut dates to 220 BC in China for textile printing and early 1300s in Europe for illustration. The process is easily to learn. You will start by carving a “plate” from wood with a relief design, then you'll roll ink onto the remaining surface to print on fine art papers. We will explore ways to also print unique monoprints from the woodcut by using a different papers/color layers of ink and a variety of ways to position the plate. Some experience in any printmaking methods will be helpful but not required. Come discover the possibilities of a new method of printmaking!
