Ragged Edge Studio

Lise invited the men in her life to a Relief Printmaking workshop … and they enjoyed it!

Here are a couple of examples from Wednesday’s class.

Loved this show!  A must see!  It’s on until March 20th, but beware the gallery is closed for Spring Break March 6-13.  The gallery will be open late for First Friday March 4.

“The limits of traditional printmaking techniques including lithography, silkscreen, woodblock and etching are explored by this master printer.  Print and paper media are cut up, overprinted, repeated, reassembled in multiple ways into room-sized installations mirroring the construction of the social world and focusing on concerns with history and politics.  The artist is co-founder of S11 Press-Prints of Darkness, a collaborative print shop in Brooklyn, New York.”

These are samples Terry carved and printed at our last relief printing class.  I love the effects when the simple blocks are printed one over another.  I’d love to start printing on cloth and t-shirts!   I’m planning to carve some blocks to add as elements with my monotypes.  Here are my first two blocks!
