$ 40, materials are separate except for wood block. Stop in for supplies list. Must pre-register. The 1st Class will cover types of woods that may be used for woodcuts, design ideas, transferring designs from paper to wood block, cutting techniques, safety, and some hands on work in cutting the block. By the end of this period, the student should have reached a point where he or she will have a good idea about how to make a woodcut on his or her own time. Some students will be able to begin their woodcuts during the class, and the plan is for each student to finish the woodcut prior to the 2nd class meeting Dec. 12). The 2nd class will cover printing. This will include demonstrations of printing methods and individual guidance. If time permits, some discussion of making color woodcuts will be introduced.
