Relief Printmaking: Integrated

PUPR 2241 | Fall 2011 | Faculty: Martin Mazorra

This course provides a hands-on experience in woodcut, linoleum cut, and type-setting for beginning and intermediate printmaking students. It introduces the techniques and the applications of relief printmaking. Students carve wood and linoleum blocks from which they print color images. These images can be combined with lead and wooden type and printed on an automated letterpress. Using woodcut, linoleum cut and typesetting, this class will explore printmaking, book arts, and letterpress principles and process. It is structured so that ideas and demonstrations will be applied to group and individual assignments.
