Hey Everyone
I am offering my Tuesday Woodcut at The Drawing Studio this fall.
I my have an assistant this fall which will make the class even more fun.
I am also going to be pushing folks to think about prints beyond the
numbered editions and use them for mixed media work. (THANKS Diana)
As I started in the spring I will come early on Tuesday for anyone wanting
extra Print lab time.
PLEASE NOTE: anyone wanting the discounted rate must sign up for both sessions
at the beginning of the course. In the past I confused people by offering the
discount regardless of when they signed up, This is not the case,
folks can sign-up online at
www.thedrawingstudio.org
Any questions please email or call 629-9230
thanks hope all your summers went well and see you in Sept.

Tuesday Relief Printmaking Group: the Woodcut
Taught by Joe Marshall
Prerequisite: Drawing Fund, levels 1&2; design/composition
experience helpful
Six Tuesday afternoons, 1–4 pm (instruction); 9 am–1 pm
(independent work time—other times can be arranged for a
small fee)
Session A: Sept. 7 – Oct. 12
Session B: Oct. 19 – Nov. 23
Wood is the original relief material, used for hundreds
of years. Each piece of wood is different and unique.
Using the grain and figure in a block of wood can open
new possibilities. Learning to conceive, carve, and print
an image on wood is to some artists close to a religion.
Nothing matches it for satisfying and direct art-making,
and for learning how to communicate graphically using
a “primitive” medium that can be so powerful in the
experienced hands.
The course will follow two tracks, one for beginners and
the other for more experienced hands. Projects include:
choosing suitable themes, block and image preparation,
use and care of carving tools, registration and printing, inks
and color options, edition protocols, and related topics.
We encourage students to enroll in both sections (a total of
12 weeks) if possible, for maximum immersion and value.
Limited to 10 students.
Fee: $160 (Associates $145), each session; $260
(Associates $230) both sessions; includes most materials,
blocks and paper available at cost.

the box as the background color. The top I cut mostly freehand, and it will be all
