INTRODUCTION TO BLOCK PRINTING with Amy Torgeson
Block printing was the first printmaking method I learned and I continue to go back to it for stand-alone motifs and repeat patterns. The technique is perfect for creating bold and simple designs and 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, several prints and the knowledge and skills to explore this centuries-old method on your own.
Bites from the Palette menu and a wine pairing will be offered during the workshop. Cost: $115
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.
