In this class, students will be introduced to the process of relief printing using a technique known as linocut. Using botanical motifs, students will learn the basics of relief design, block cutting and inking, and hand printing techniques. Each student will leave with a series of their own hand printed cards and a block printing supply starter kit to continue printing at home! Find some inspiration from the season and make some botanical-themed Halloween cards for your family and friends.
Anneke Wilder is an artist and illustrator based in Seattle, WA. Anneke received degrees in Biology and Studio Art, as well as a certificate in Natural Science Illustration from UW. She’s participated in numerous artist residencies at the nexus of art and science and is a contributor to Hyldyr, a publication company that combines art, ecology, and folklore. She draws on her background in the sciences to create detailed watercolors that deal with themes of growth and decay—of our bodies, our culture, and our landscapes. Her work often incorporates natural pigments extracted from foraged organic matter such as plants and fungi, and this exploration allows her to connect deeply with the environments she lives and creates her work in.
