Observation-Based Botanical Block Printing
$280.00
We will start by exploring the Sanborn Mills Farm ecosystem, walking the fields and finding plant or fungal species that interest us. Participants will each choose a species to focus on, and we’ll spend some time observing through sketch and then learning more about the individual species. We will then learn how to make block prints, planning, prepping, sketching, and then carving linoleum blocks. Then we’ll practice inking and hand-printing techniques, and participants will experiment with these and then create their own small edition of linocuts, using nontoxic, vegetable oil-based inks.
Skills and Techniques:
- Observational sketching in plein air
- Planning, prepping, and safely carving a linoleum block
- Experimental printing and creating a small edition of unique block prints
