This course will be an introduction on how to transform your illustrations into prints. Students will learn a collection of beginner-friendly methods of printmaking. We will explore how to produce creative results using special materials as well as everyday found objects. Students will be shown how to etch and carve these various materials safely and they will also be guided on how to enhance their illustrations to achieve richer results. The final project will be an intermediate project on how to make patterns using block carving. By the end of the course, every student should have 1-4 examples of their new skills. Beginner to Advanced Illustrators are welcome to join this course to learn how to transform their personal art.
Optional: Students can bring completed sketches and illustrations we'll transform into prints as this class won't go into the details on how to draw or illustrate.
