Woodblock Relief Printing | Don Krumpos | Saturday, February 8 | 9:00 AM-4:00 PM
Adult | Print | Paper | Book | All Levels
Members: $170 | Non-Members: $180
Course ID: 2D2501
Concept
In this one-day workshop, explore one of the oldest, most easily-understood, and most direct methods of printmaking - relief. In this process, an image is carved into a soft wood block, the remaining areas are inked, and the image is transferred to paper using a printmaking press or by hand. The bold dark and light contrasts unique to this process attract drawers, painters, and printmakers alike.
Experience
With Don as your guide, explore different approaches for preparing images, carving into wood, mixing ink, handling paper, and using the press. For those interested, push your skills further to create a layered, multi-color print using the reduction process. Expect to print several of your images throughout the day. Leave this workshop ready to tackle future relief projects with or without a press.
Skill Level
All levels welcome. Previous printmaking experience is not necessary.

SUPPLY LIST
Don Krumpos started making art by cobbling impossible machines and formidable forts on his father’s century farm. Today, his work combines his world of narratives with material culture of old and new, sprinkled with contemporary absurdities. Don’s primary goal is to diminish the barrier to art by making techniques accessible and helping students creatively problem solve technical and conceptual concerns. When not in the studio, Don is off on adventures with his wife and son. Don co-owns Yonder, a gallery and studio space in Algoma, WI.
