Wood Engraving: Historic Letterpress Illustration
Join me for a weekend wood engraving workshop at Asheville BookWorks (Asheville, NC) Friday, Dec. 14 (5pm–7:30pm), Saturday Dec. 15 (10–5) and Sunday Dec. 16 (10–5). Wood engraving is your secret weapon for creating detailed images while retaining the bold relief characteristics of woodcut and linoleum. This process is perfect for adding illustrations to holiday cards, artist’s books or broadsides or to create a stand-alone image. Students will get to know the tools, materials, printing process, and history of wood engraving through hands-on projects and demonstrations. This intensive course will give participants the basic skills to create a unique wood engraved print. And with a print exchange at the end of the workshop, you’ll find the perfect opportunity to start your own art collection! All skill levels are welcome.
