Botanical Art Linocut Workshop
Saturday, April 9th, 12 - 4pm
Registration closes on March 28th, 4 seats available
$85 materials included

Jill Sans, owner of The HeArt Box and artist, will be guiding this linocut workshop for ages 16 and up, all levels of creativity are welcomed. This workshop is for those who want to learn the art of linocut, as we are surrounded by the blooms of spring we will explore botanical art as our subject matter. We will have 4 seats available, masks are required to be worn while in the classroom. Pre-registration is encouraged, registration closes on March 28th.

We will be drawing from botanical photos onto our linoleum block, from there we will spend time hand carving and then printing on 5x7 paper. These are great sizes for gifts or framed art. You will have time to print multiple prints, learning the techniques of printing from linoleum blocks. You will go home with finished printed pieces of art as well as your hand carved linoleum block to use again at home.

It’s springtime so let’s celebrate the flowers coming back! Linocut is old technique used for printing, we have certainly evolved away from this process but it still remains fun and enjoyable. Linocut can be a great art form to learn to reproduce artwork.

Class will be held at The HeArt Box Gallery and Studio in downtown Flagstaff. Located at 17 N. San Francisco Street, Suite 1B in the historic Switzer building. Directly behind the Artists Gallery. You can access the studio from Aspen alley.
