Relief Printing Anywhere is a two-session virtual workshop. The first class focuses on discussing and experimenting with materials to create the relief blocks from, image transferring techniques, tools for carving, proper carving techniques, and sharpening your carving tools. The second class focuses on proper printing techniques, registering multiple blocks, and reduction woodcuts.

Students learn the basics of relief printing at home. We discuss ways to create relief blocks from materials around your house as well as more professional materials like wood and linoleum. We also cover a few tricks for printing including registering multiple colors and spoon-printing.

​Virtual Workshop

Instructor Beth Sheehan leads this virtual workshop for all experience levels on pochoir printing. Pochoir is a stenciling technique that is versatile and can be done with so many materials. Sheehan will guide students through creating reusable, registered stencils out of flexible materials like Mylar—which can be used to print on a wide variety of surfaces. Sheehan will also cover the basics of color theory, empowering participants to mix and blend colors as well as create gradients. Over the course of the workshop, participants will learn to layer their stencils to produce an image of their own choosing.
