Extreme Woodcut Workshop: The Sequel
Saturday, May 24th 10am - 4pm

This workshop will continue to expand the expressive range of a single matrix and free up thinking about working with paper.

Artists will experiment with printing oil-based ink as a resist for the painterly monoprinting effects.

Participants will explore the huge potential of modular construction as they cut and reassemble their prints in 2-D and 3-D ways. Artists who took the first workshop can pick up where they left off; those starting with the sequel will cut and print the blocks that they will manipulate afterwards.
Cost: $50 members • $75 members and students • All materials included

All events will be held at the Windsor Printmaker’s Forum located in the lower level of 420 Devonshire Road, Windsor, Ontario. Please call 519.253.9493 to pre-register.
