]]> This summer, my wood engraving classes hit the road—coast-to-coast—Seattle, Washington to Buffalo, New York! These one-day workshops are especially designed to be taster/teasers – short & sweet, like summer’s kiss!  Walk away with the know-how to make illustrations the “old” way—black & white images hand-cut into end grain wood—perfect for adding illustrations to letterpress cards, artist’s books, broadsides, or for creating stand-alone images. The contemporary applications of this antiquated process are endless. The delicate details with bold, woodcut characteristics are truly unique to wood engraving — you really can’t get this effect any other way!

The first course will be at the School of Visual Concepts (SVC) in Seattle Friday June 22, 10am–4pm. In addition to the wood engraving workshop, there will be a bonus visit to the University of Washington’s Special Collections to view and discuss wood engravings from the collection with curator, Sandra Kroupa on Wednesday June 20 at 3pm AND an exhibit of my engravings at SVC! I hope you’ll join me and veteran engraver, Carl Montford (founder of Rain City Engravers and Montford Press) for a summer-themed dark-art fling! Register today – spots will go fast!

The second course will be at the Western New York Book Arts Center (WYNBAC) amidst downtown Buffalo’s vibrant renewal. The workshop will be held , Sunday July 8th, 10am–4:30pm, the day after BookFest (which you also won’t want to miss!). I honestly don’t know the last time wood engraving was taught in Buffalo – after Frank Eckmair‘s (Buffalo State College Professor Emeritus) influence — maybe in 1995? Join me in reinstating a vibrant graphic tradition in the second (only to NYC) most influential “gateway” city! Us Rust Belt cities need a wood engraving mantra — come on Pittsburg, Cleveland, and Rochester residents — I encourage you to participate!
