The Valentines Lino Cut Workshop at the Encinitas Library was last night. Despite my nervousness and the daunting task of teaching tons about relief printmaking in only 1.5 hours, it went quite well. Lots of participants, lots of enthusiasm and some wonderful printmaking happened.
I want to thank Jim Gilliam who organized the event and the exhibit. It would not have happened without his hard work. Thanks also to the volunteers, Terri, Judy and Carolyn, who helped to set up, assisted during the workshop and did such a speedy job of cleanup! I'll also put a shout out to my favorite purveyor of art making materials, Jack at Rhino Art. Thanks for getting us the supplies we needed, researching better options and making cutting boards for each participant ( we only needed one band aid!).
I hope everybody had a good time and learned enough about relief printmaking that they might want to try it at home. Thank you.
