Tabletop Peace Train: Intro to Protest Relief Printing! July 11th

In recognition of the Nuclear Past, Present, Future show currently up at the Hispanic Cultural Center Art Museum, we invite you to come join the Tabletop Peace Train! This one day workshop, led by Stephanie Weiner (@revolutionarylemonadetsand) provides an intro to the creation of protest art through the medium of linocut relief carving and printing. All skill levels including beginners are welcome. The focus will be on carving the block, but will touch on the image transfer process, registration, reduction and collage techniques that will make your work pop! Each person should come with an idea or photo on their phone of a person who is marching for peace or justice about any issue or from any time in history. In addition inspirational photos will be available at the time of the class. After we carve and print the images, we will cut them out and mount them on cardboard and a wood block to create a 3-dimensional figure. Every participant will be able to take at least one print home along with their Linoleum plate, and leave one that will actually stand up to join the group parade on the table!
