This workshop will cover the fundamentals of the block/relief printing process. Also called linocut, it is usually characterized by flat, clearly delineated areas of color. An image is cut or gouged from a sheet of linoleum (which is softer and easier to carve than wood) then rolled with ink and printed on paper. 

Participants will have the opportunity to carve their own rubber stamp and make prints from their designs, or use stamps designed by River to create a unique collaboration.
