Details The reduction block print - a multi color block print.
Host Astrud Aguirre
Cost $10.00

Students will be carving a robot (or other image) while experimenting with a relief printing technique called Reduction Printing.

students will practice plate registration while printing an "edition" of 20-25 prints.

A reduction print is a multicolor print in which the separate colors are printed from the same block at different stages. Usually, the lightest color of the design is printed first, then the block is "reduced" by carving to the areas which the artist wants to print the second color from, and so forth.

The $10 materials fee covers supplies (paper, inks & plates) and will enable you to take home a set of your own hand printed images

** WE WILL BE PRINTING WITH WATER BASED INK ***
Wear something comfortable that you won't mind if it gets "Inky"

Class is set for 4 hours but you may finish early depending upon the complexity of your print.
