#8 Woodblock Class For 4
Learn some of the ancient art of Woodblock Printmaking! It’s genuine and personal, made with your hands instead of high tech!
Who doesn’t love to feel proud about displaying their own unique creation, or giving or receiving a handmade card in the mail featuring custom art?
Bid on this all-experience levels (great for beginners or experienced artists), low pressure and unique opportunity to create your own greeting cards, works on paper, and a woodblock that can also be a work of art in itself! All supplies are included, and the class has a max number of participants of 6 people. This is an excellent way to learn how to work with wood and ink and is accessible to everyone 16+ who can carve independently with sharp chisels after instruction on safe use.
Drawing skills aren’t necessary because you can work from designs that I will provide. Or if you like to draw, you can use something from your phone or bring your own 6″x8″ drawings! Depending on the class, it’s possible that each student can make up to two woodblock designs to print.
This class will be held at the church.
This class has a base value of $90 per participant for up to a 4-and-a-half-hour class, taught by me, a professional artist.
You will have the opportunity to make an edition of four prints or cards, along with several prints on vellum, and you keep your woodblock for future work or as an art piece itself!
