Soft Block Printmaking: Valentines Class.

Last week I taught a beginning printmaking class at the NW Multnomah County Library.

It was a wonderful afternoon with twenty first time printmakers.

We sketched, carved and printed our hearts out!

Each student created a set of Valentine's Day cards to send out to those they love.

If you aren't familiar with the library's FREE art and craft classes, check them out here!

This month I am teaching a series of Soft Block Printmaking classes 

at the Portland Public Libraries. These are fantastic classes where you can

carve your own soft block and print it on the front of greeting cards

to send out to your friends and family for the holidays.

Here are a few images from last night's class at the Holgate library.

Here are the students final prints, Wow!

One wonderful thing about working at the library is that we have TONS of reference material!

Such fantastic detail on this reindeer.
