printmaking workshop @ Louisiana Artworks

Louisiana ArtWorks is currently offering a "Large Format Woodcuts" printmaking workshop with instructor Blake Sanders. The Workshop will take place March 7th, 14th, and 21st from 12-6 PM.

Learn to make massive prints you can create in your own backyard. In large-format relief Blake Sanders will demonstrate the procedure for making really, really big woodcuts from increasing the scale of source imagery, to drawing and sealing the image, to cutting and printing in a limited workspace. Large reduction woodcuts will be created using traditional woodcut tools as well as alternative media and substrates. The resulting mammoth block will be printed by hand and by press on paper and fabric. All materials are provided.

Workshop will take place at the Louisiana ArtWorks building at 725 Howard Avenue, New Orleans, LA. Please call the office at (504) 571-7373 to register. Class size is limited to eight participants; enrollment fee is $350.00. 10% Discount available for students.
