About the Event

March 7 & 8
10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Multicolour block-printing is a fun way to add depth and richness to your prints. Over this weekend workshop, Saturday will cover digging into the nuts and bolts of multi-block printing where you will learn how to transfer your designs cleanly, carve with intention, and align your blocks so your colours land exactly where you want them. On Sunday, we’ll move into the world of reduction printing, a slow-building, deeply satisfying technique where one block is carved in stages to reveal each new layer of colour and detail. By the end of the weekend, you’ll head home with new skills, a stronger understanding of relief printing, and a collection of finished prints to keep or share.
This workshop is best suited for people who already have the basics of relief printing down, as we won’t have time to cover…
