Print(ed) Word

Calgary Central Library 800 3rd Street SE, Calgary

Print(ed) Word is a collection of artist books that were created through pairing 12 local writers with 12 local print-artists who collaborated in reimagining existing texts into hand-made book forms. 

This project was led by A/P and Loft 112 with funding support from Canada Council for the Arts. The permanent installation in Calgary's Central Library was made possible through the support of Calgary Public Library, Calgary Public Library Foundation, and the J K L MacLachlan Family Foundation.

Intro to Reduction Linocut

DATES: January 21, 28, February 4 and 11, 2025
TIME: 6-9pm (each day)
INSTRUCTOR: Jonathan Creese

COURSE SUMMARY:
This intro class to the reduction linocut technique will teach the basics of the process through the creation of a 3 layer reduction woodcut at the Alberta Printmakers studio over the course of four evening classes.
The reduction process is one way of introducing colour into the relief printing process without the necessity of having multiple blocks. Students will be instructed on ways of designing imagery for reduction printing, useful approaches to the carving process, the use of a registration jig, and finally the setting of the press and printing. 
Participants should leave the workshop with a small edition of reduction prints designed and printed by themselves as well as a good foundation in the technique to allow them to continue with their own personal explorations.
Some prior experience with relief printmaking (linocut or woodcut) is an advantage to taking this workshop but is not a necessity.
