PRINTMAKING
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Linocut: Level 1
Printmaking is focused on process, and it gives us the ability to create many copies of an original work, making this a profitable and multi-dimensional art form.
Shaqe will address composition, design, texture, line, shape, color, carving, transferring an image, and printing without a press. Witnin this class you will create several prints using different kinds of linocut. In the last linocut you will create a three-process colored print. A knowledge of the materials in printmaking is essential, and this will be explored and taught.
“I think I am really going to enjoy this class and I am already starting to get more out of it than I realized...things that will help in other areas of my art. I really appreciate how willing Shaqe is to share her own process and experiences. I love that some of her art is there in the studio so she can actually show you what she is talking about.” -- excerpt from a blog about Took’s first day in the linocut class.

Woodcut: Level 1
Shaqe, a master printmaker, will introduce the foundations of working with wood. She will address composition, design, texture, line, shape, color, carving, transferring an image, and printing without a press. Emphasis will be on texture and contrast. The class will involve two approaches: first: You will create a woodcut that will involve a more spontaneous understanding of the wood, that will be used as a basis of developing technique. The second approach will involve taking a drawing and transfering the drawing to wood. You’ll gain an essential knowledge of the materials of printmaking as you explore the materials and techniques. Each class will end with a relfection on process and on the development of your personal style.

Woodcut: Level 2: Three-Color Process
This second level woodcut class dives into a technique where multiple colors are used from one woodblock. This is called a reduction process. At the end of the class you will have multiple prints that will be consisted of four colors. There will be an emphasis on printing and registration as well as guidance on creating a drawing that is right for this proces.Previous experience in woodcut is highly suggested.
