Block Printing Basics:
In this course you will learn how to draft, transfer, carve and print your own linoleum block print. Create frameable art or note cards to use in your home or give as gifts. You will be working on a 3X4 (or 6x4) inch block, so bring a simple drawing or photocopied picture in the size you would like to work on. Think black and white images that aren’t too busy.
Wear clothing that you won’t mind getting dirty. All tools are provided for use during class. Papers and card stock are also provided for you to print on and take home.
Please bring an image or two to work from. These images should be 3x4 or 4x6 and should not have too much detail in them.

SHELLEY GETTEN
(she/her)
Shelley Getten has been creating block print art since 2005, when she learned basic printmaking from Grand Marais artist, Kelly DuPre. She loves sharing the joy of creating something new and believes it is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and our youth. Her first full-length poetry book, Of Cows and Crows, was published by Nodin press in the fall of 2024. It combines her art (cover and sections) with her poetry of growing up on a farm near St. Cloud, MN.
