Multi-Color Block Printing - May 31, 2025
May 31, 2025
1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
There are a number of ways to add color in your block printing techniques. Some of these include adding color to a black and white print with paint, colored pencils etc. or creating a colorful background on which to print. More traditionally, you may create multiple blocks for different colors. You will learn how to carve multiple blocks and do simple “registration” (lining up multiple blocks) for aligned printing.
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.
