Print a small book edition in one day, combining text & image with hand printing & water based inks. Even if you have never made an image before, you will gain confi-dence and amaze yourself and your friends when you show off your very own book! Create and design your image, transfer the image, plan the printing sequence, carve a soft block, and print it by hand with a brayer and water based inks. Each letter of text will be set in rubber fonts. Collage elements will be encouraged.
All aspects of this green print shop can be recreated at home.
In this workshop, students will create an accordion book with text and images, and complete a small edition (up to 4 books). All materials will be provided (paper, type, soft blocks, brayers, inks, collage papers, Speedball carving tools).
Limited to 10 students, open ONLY to Brown and RISD undergraduates
