Relief is one of the oldest forms of printmaking; some Chinese woodcuts (a type of relief print) date back to the eighth century. This type of printmaking is done by carving or cutting into a surface, then applying ink to the remaining raised surface and pressing it onto paper. The carved block can be inked again and again to make multiple prints.
This exciting class explores the diverse possibilities of the relief, using both traditional and nontraditional materials. All of the materials are nontoxic, and many of the techniques can be done at home.
