White line woodcut was developed in the early 1900’s in Provincetown, Massachusetts by a group of artists, including Blanche Lazzell and B.J.O. Nordfeldt, who wanted an alternative to traditional Japanese woodblock printing.  They were interested in simplifying the process and worked out a way to use one woodblock instead of several, one for each color. We’ll focus on creating an image, cutting the block, registration, using watercolor or gouache to print, and experimenting with different Asian papers.  In some ways these prints are like monotypes.  Each color is painted on the woodblock and hand printed using a baren to create a transparent or opaque hue. You can create a monotype or a variable edition. This class is for adults and mature teenagers of all skill levels and includes 6 hours a week of open studio time.

All materials are included.
