Join us for our annual seven week workshop all about carving and printing BIG! Each year we dedicate a full six weeks to the adventure of printmaking. During this six week course we learn about design, carving on the large, both a 7x20 block to prepared for the 36x96 inch (3ft x 8ft) wood block. At the end of this adventure, we are hosted by a local space who invites us to have out Steamroller event.
What to expect during our 7 week course: We’ll start our meetings at the Bazaar at 6pm two times a week (meeting days TBD) to discus and design your image and start carving smaller block. Once the smaller block is carved and printed we’ll relocate up to Rosie’s studio where space is more available for such a big adventure. Rosie will show you how to then transfer your image onto the large wood block and how to start carving your masterpiece.
Following the completion of wood blocks we’ll be gathering at a venue for the Steamrollig Event where we’ll ink and print our pieces using a compact roller as our press. This event is open to the public!
Space is limited
Cost: $600/maker, Includes ALL the material, instruction (carving and brayer tool rental, small and large blocks, ink, fabric for printing on to, compact roller rental for main even) + Event fee for venue rental. If you’re interested in splitting a board with a friend, you’re more than welcome to. Collaboration is so FUN! If splitting a board with a fellow collaborator, cost is $400/each. Though you’re sharing a board you each still get to design and carve your own 7x20 block and get equal print quantities.
