In January 2022, Second Street Gallery presented a two-part, hands-on introductory printmaking workshop with Inside the Artist’s Studio artist, Abigail Wilson.

Session 1: January 12, 2022 from 6-7:30PM (Image transfer and carving basics)
Session 2: January 19, 2022 from 6-8PM (Printing day!)

This workshop was a short course and took place in two sessions. During Session 1, attendees learned to transfer images to carving blocks and practiced carving techniques to create their block designs. Outside of Session 1, attendees worked on finishing their carvings for our printing day. During Session 2, attendees learned inking and printing skills to realize their designs. This session was messy, but lots of fun!

Attendees had access to all necessary materials at the workshop days and got to take home what they created (along with an opportunity to trade and share prints with other participants)!
