Foundations in Printmaking: Linocut Relief

ABOUT THIS CLASS:

Although it could be argued that handprints in the caves at Lascaux are the first relief prints ever made by humans, recorded history indicates that the relief technique was used by the Egyptians over 4000 years ago. The Chinese perfected the techniques in the 1st and 2nd centuries, passing the knowledge along the ancient trade routes, eventually making their way to Europe where Gutenberg put his famous press to work and ushered in the dawn of mass communication. The point is, we’ve been reproducing images using relief techniques for a very long time.

In this 4-week class, students will learn the basic techniques of relief printmaking by carving, inking, and printing linoleum blocks. We will make single and multi-color prints as well as discuss tips for using chine collé, making editions, different paper varieties, and using alternative block materials.

In addition, students will gain an understanding of general printmaking procedures, graphics studio practices, and safety protocols. Students will be encouraged to share their thoughts about composition, formal and conceptual elements/ideas, motivation, presentation, and historical and contemporary prints and printmakers.

No prior printmaking experience necessary, but a commitment to artistic exploration is required. Ages 16+

The Orkney Woodcut: Variations on the Provincetown Print

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP:

The Orkney Woodcut is a distinct, straightforward, and press-free method of printmaking. The process combines elements of Japanese and Western print techniques with the Provincetown Print, and blends them into something new.

In this approach, two woodblocks and specially chosen stones from the Orkney Islands are used to create a uniquely variable edition of prints. This enables the printmaker to combine the texture of printing with the fluidity of painting. Any image can become a print. The more experienced artist will have surprises, and the less experienced artist will quickly feel successful.

During the three-day workshop, students will complete at least one or two prints and leave with even more images to print fresh at home, plus a handmade barren with a stone of their choosing.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:

Jeanne Bouza Rose has been creating watercolor white-line woodcuts for over 20 years in the USA and on the remote Scottish islands of Orkney. By integrating Orcadian history and natural resources, she has helped the technique evolve into the unique Orkney Woodcut. Currently Artist-in-Residence at the Ness of Brodgar, a World Heritage Neolithic archaeological site dating back to 3200 BC, Jeanne lives mostly in Orkney but maintains and visits her Woodstock home throughout the year.

She has been extremely successful in spreading watercolor white-line woodcuts, the only North American contribution to the art of printmaking, to the United Kingdom. Her artwork has been exhibited in galleries in the states and in Scotland and is in private collections throughout the world, including Herriot Watt University, Scotland.

Living in Scotland allows her to chose a daily dog walk around the Neolithic Ring of Brodgar, the third largest stone circle in the UK. In 2022, two of her images painted at the Ring will be featured in the British Museum Shop to coincide with their World of Stonehenge exhibition, as well as a print version of the large work she painted at the excavation in 2018.

Having studied painting, drawing, and color with Richard Vaux, Hans Jennerjohn, Frances Avery, Staats Fasoldt, and printmaking with Milton Goldstein, it is no wonder that she works in a variety of media. In addition to the Orkney woodcut, Jeanne also works in watercolors and oil pigment sticks on large flat canvas and paints on lampshades.

Jeanne originally learned watercolor white-line print making from the late Pia Oste-Alexander at the Woodstock School of Art.
