Join printmaker Christie Tirado for a bilingual printmaking workshop focused on relief printmaking. Students will learn linoleum block printmaking and make images inspired by loved ones. Each participant will make at least 2 impressions of their print—one to take with them, one for inclusion in the altar SVMoA will create for this year’s Día de los Muertos celebration.
Tirado will lead the workshop in Spanish and English, guiding participants as they work with linoleum. This intensive workshop will cover block preparation, transferring an image onto the block, carving techniques, and the printing process. Participants will leave with prints and a carved linoleum block which can be used to make more prints. No prior printmaking experience is required.
SVMoA will supply materials (included in enrollment cost).
Age & Ability: 16 and older; no prior printmaking experience is required; beginners welcome!
Workshop takes place from 10am–4pm.
