LLART 320 - How to Carve a Woodblock Print: Steamroller Block Party

This one-day workshop will cover the very basics of carving relief prints. We will demonstration how to tone and seal your block (and explain the importance of this step), and discuss how to transfer images onto the block. Participants will be introduced to their new carving tools and how to safely handle them. Then, we will try out our new tools on a small 5" x 4" block which we will print on Kozo papers with the press and by hand. Each participant will receive a tool kit and circular block to take home to carve so they can return on September 12th to participate in the Steamroller Mandala Block Party!
