In this workshop, participants will carve a small linoleum block with a simple image, proof the block on a letterpress and make alterations until satisfied. The attendees will then use the image to create another linoleum block for carving additional detail for printing in another color. Finally, both blocks will be printed and registered to create a small, two-color edition. Two 5″ x 7″ linoleum blocks are included in the class cost. Attendees may bring their own carving tools or use tools available at the press.
