Relief Printmaking – Saturday, September 6, 2025

Make your own postcards or mountable pieces of art in this beginner-friendly class! Everyone will draw, carve, and print multiples of a 4” x 6” black and white relief print by hand – in a design of their own, or from a sample image provided by the instructor.

Skills covered include safely handling carving tools, how to properly ink a relief block, how to print a design using hand-printing methods, and how to troubleshoot the at-home printmaking process. The instructor will share information on how to color in your work at home, if desired.

Your instructor will provide the following:

• rulers
• newspaper
• pencils
• scissors
• tape
• miniature printing press
• carving tools
• sharpening tools
• ink knife for demonstration. 

Students are asked to bring:

• A work apron if they have one, or clothes they do not mind staining

Since your class runs over the lunch hour, we recommend you bring a lunch or click here to learn about local eating opportunities.
