Students can learn and expirement with the basics lino cut relife printmaking through the fantastic world of mushrooms! This class is good for beginners or more experienced students. Participants can work at their own skill level, using mushrooms as a subject allows each student to make their design as complicated or simple as they want it to be.

Students will be given a 5x7 piece of lino to design their mushroom print. 

The first part of the class will be for drafting ideas and creating a sketch. After students have created sketches of their mushrooms they'll learn how to transfer and carve their own lino block. Once their block is carved they can each print their own unique mushrooms with their ink color of choice.

Open to ages 13 and up.
