This studio-based course focuses on the rich history of relief printmaking and its applied aesthetic within fine art. Using both wood and linoleum, students will experiment with a variety of printing and carving techniques including hand editioning practices, reduction relief processes, and multiple block methods. Attention to craft and professional presentation of finished prints will be stressed throughout the quarter. Students should expect to work 6 - 8 hours in the studio outside of class time. The course will conclude with a print exchange.
