Event Overview

Blockprint is one of many processes at Spudnik Press that can be use to print your own collection of cards. Images can be transferred to or drawn directly on a block, then carved with a gauge to create high-contrast stylized designs.

This is a quick and fun introduction to blockprinting, allowing students to dabble with a new process. Students will arrive with a concept or reference image. Throughout the afternoon, they will learn how to carve that image in relief on a linoleum block, print in black ink using a sign press, and last but not least, clean their block so they can print more down the road.

Students will walk away with 20 handmade greeting cards.
