Color and Whiteline Woodblock Printing with Kathrine Lovell Developed in Provincetown Massachusetts around 1914, Whiteline (or Provincetown) printing was a response to the complexities of Japanese woodblock printing. A group of 6 artists (including Blanche Lazzell and B.J.O. Nordfeldt) got together and created a new technique of carving and printing woodblocks, using scrap lumber found on building sites, watercolors, pen knives and common kitchen tools. Their work represented everyday life in Provincetown, in bright colors and simple forms that were easy to carve. Over the years the techniques have changed very little, but the subject matter has expanded as the craft has migrated around the world. This class will teach you the basics of developing a drawing, transferring it to the block, carving, and printing. No prior printing experience is necessary, no printing press is required, and the tools are simple. A materials list will be provided by the instructor and imagery for classwork will be inspired by Blithewold walks.

Class Fee: $160
Materials Fee: Class kit TBD
