What You’ll Learn
- Welcome to my linocut printmaking class! .
- In this class I will be teaching:.
- -My “puzzle block” printmaking technique, a fun and easy way to create 2 color original prints..
- -About different printmaking supplies available, such as paper, carving tools, and inks, beyond the entry level materials that are available..
- This is a class for people that already have a base knowledge about relief printing and may have even created a linoleum block or woodcut before. This class is also great for printmakers looking to expand their skills, learn a new process, and connect with other artists. .

- I graduated with a B.A. in Printmaking and a B.S. in business from the University of Alabama in 2017, and I have been blessed to put both of these practices into use ever since. Always creating since graduation, I decided to start my full-time art business in 2020. I have been very supported, and am always trying to expand my community, outreach, and spread the joy of life through visuals. I appreciate all the help I have gotten along the way. I work in illustration, oil painting, clothing design, and animation, beyond my printmaking. Please check out my online portfolios here:.

- I am passionate about cats, and growing pumpkins, so this seemed like the perfect combination! I encourage you to go outside (or inside) to get inspired for this project. The puzzle block method needs a design that can easily be separated, as we will be cutting our block up to create the pieces. I like to think of a subject matter first (usually printed in a dark ink) and then the background design (usually printed in a lighter ink.) .
- I break down each step into a separate video segment. It will be easy for you to follow along at your own pace. Printmaking is time consuming, please do not rush the process, and it is full of learning opportunities! Be patient, it is worth it!.
