Learn processes to make multicolored, multilayered prints using gel plates, Akua inks, and objects from nature.
Reduction Block Printmaking
July 15 & 16
Students will make prints through multiple inkings and printings on the same paper using different ink colors as more and more of the original block is altered or removed. This technique is often credited to Pablo Picasso.
