LLART 333 - Botanical Sketching and Relief Printing

Combine your love of plants and printmaking! Start by learning techniques for basic sketching and observation as you draw plants and flowers. Then, you'll spend the remaining class sessions at Saltgrass Printmakers, where you will learn the basics of relief printing using soft rubber blocks. You'll learn to create an image that will work well for carving, transfer it to a block, carve it, and roll out ink with a brayer to print the image on paper. The special fee includes everything you'll need for class, some of which will be yours to keep for your own future printmaking adventures!
