Learn the art of relief printing in this simple beginner workshop. We'll use soft carve linoleum as our block and create a one-color design to be printed during the workshop. This five-hour workshop is a great introduction to the principles of printmaking. All prints and carved blocks can be taken home at the end of the class. You'll also leave with the skills needed to create your own prints at home!
You will:
Create an image appropriate for block printing
Learn safe carving techniques
Create hand burnished original prints
Details
All materials will be provided but you should bring your design ideas or sketches to class.

Dana Seeger
Dana Harris Seeger was born in San Francisco and split her childhood between California and Indiana. She pursued her passion in high school and college and received a bachelor's degree in painting from Anderson University in Indiana in 2004 and a master's in fine arts in printmaking from San Jose State University in 2011. She is a member of the California Society of Printmakers. In 2014, Dana co-created an art studio and school in San Jose, Calif., called the School of Visual Philosophy. Her work in printmaking and painting helps her connect real to imagined memories and her life experiences to her heritage. Growing up as a second-generation Baltic American, she has always tried to connect the artifacts acquired from Estonia and Latvia into her own story. She lives in Poulsbo with her husband (a sculptor), daughter, and twin sons.
