Linoleum Block Printing Workshop

with Diane Castle Babcock.
Reduction printing is a technique developed by Pablo Picasso. Rather than using a separate block for each color,
Picasso used one piece of linoleum, which he carved and printed in stages to create a multi-color print.
In this hands-on workshop, Diane Castle Babcock will demonstrate and teach the reduction printing process. She will show how to transfer a drawing onto the block, use cutters safely, as well as illustrate color mixing and printing techniques. Diane has used this process to create her artwork for forty-five years. Students will create a three-color 4 x 6 inch linoleum block print with her guidance.
Diane will supply all the tools and materials necessary to create the print. Students should come to class with a 4 x 6” landscape drawing using two colors plus white in the design.
When: 12:30-4:30 pm, Fri. June 13
Who: adults, and teens 12 and up (Sign up early, Max. of 8 students)
Fee: $105, includes all materials and instruction
