Creative Connections: Introduction to Printmaking - Linocuts

Intro to Printmaking - Linocuts     (This class involves using sharp carving tools and inks that can easily stain clothing.  Please plan and dress accordingly.  Children are welcome to attend the class if a parent/guardian believes they can safely handle the tools.  By registering for the class, you accept all risk and liabilities.)

Join us for a fun introductory class on printmaking!  Linocut printmaking is a relief printing technique that involves carving a design into a sheet of linoleum, leaving raised areas that will transfer ink onto paper. Ink is applied to the raised linoleum surface, and then paper is pressed onto it, creating a reversed image of the carved design. This process allows artists to produce bold and graphic prints with a distinctive, textured quality, making linocut a popular choice among printmakers for its versatility and accessibility.

Class Fee: $5 registration fee.  Pre-registration is required. (If tickets have sold out, email info@whiterabbitgalleries.org to be placed on a waiting list.)

What is Creative Connections: Family Art Night?

This year White Rabbit Galleries is pleased to host a monthly series of art classes and instruction geared towards providing arts education to our community while also arranging a time for families, friends, and neighbors to spend time together in an engaging activity.  Instruction, supplies, and refreshments are provided for this event, with opportunities to receive supplies to take home to continue creating work.  Each Creative Connections class will cover a different medium of art and technique to maximize creativity and challenge. Participants can sign up for specific classes as they become available and are not required to attend every class. This program is made possible through funding provided by the Barberton Community Foundation.

When will the Creative Connections classes be held?

Our Creative Connections series will be held on every 4th Saturday of the month from 4:30pm-7:00pm.
