PRINTMAKING FOR BEGINNERS WITH EMBER ESTRIDGE

In each week of this four week class, we will build on printmaking skills. We will begin with foam radial prints, move to carving eraser designs, then get our own linocut pictures, and finally learn to print words. At the end of this course, you will know the basics of printmaking as well as have foam prints, up to four eraser designs, and four 4”x6” linocut blocks. All materials provided. There will be designs to choose from and you can also create your own. This hour and half class is for learners 16 and up. Younger learners may sign up as well but need an adult to sign up with them as we will be using sharp tools in this course.

ABOUT THE TEACHER:

I make illustrative art that is explorative and eclectic in nature. Using vivid colors and whimsical themes, I seek to use art as a tool for coping and overcoming the discordant world we live in. Creating both sequential mass consumption pieces as well as stand-alone gallery pieces, I desire my work to captivate a wide audience.

As an art educator in public Title 1 schools, much of my work is inspired and created around the classroom. I tailor projects and lessons to engage and motivate students, impacting my own art making in the process. The resourcefulness and inventiveness of creating art projects accessible to a wide range of students and ages allows me to see multiple possibilities for each art material.
