Spend the evening learning the simple and satisfying art of block printing from Bay Area artist and printmaker, Amy Torgeson! This technique is perfect for creating bold and simple designs, while the readily available tools and non-toxic inks make it an easy method for printing at home.
At the end of the workshop, you'll leave with your own designed and carved rubber block, a set of cards printed with your designs and the knowledge and skills to explore this centuries-old method on your own.
Special note: Feel free to bring image ideas. Image size should be no bigger than 3 ¾ x 2 ¾. Simple images are best for this introductory workshop.
Bites from the Palette menu along with a wine pairing will be included in the workshop.
Amy Torgeson is an artist working in printmaking and collage. Her work is influenced by nature, textiles and the colors and textures gathered through travel. She uses wooden typography blocks as the basis of her printing and is drawn to the graphic yet imperfect quality of printing with these blocks by hand. Her prints reflect a modern, abstract sensibility and often focus on the direct experience of color, shape, line and pattern. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and two children and works from her studio in Sausalito.
Early registration is recommended as space is limited.No children under the age of 10.Ticket purchases are non-refundable.
