Wood engraving is a relief printmaking process that involves carving into end grain hardwood, making it possible for an artist to create highly detailed images and tonally rich compositions. Used as the primary means for printing illustrations alongside of moveable type from the late eighteenth century through most of the nineteenth century, wood engraving is still a great way to incorporate imagery into letterpress cards, book plates, printed ephemera, artist books, broadsides, and of course to develop graphic stand-alone images, especially when there is a need to work small. Students will be guided through the entire process from transferring an image, to engraving, to printing small editions. Participants will learn about types of wood used for engraving, care and sharpening of tools, and types of paper. Printing by hand as well as on a small proof press will be covered. No previous engraving or printing experience is necessary, but patience, good eyesight, and a steady hand are very helpful! Note: Tuition includes a $20 lab fee. Additionally, students should come prepared to purchase custom end grain blocks and paper directly from the instructor, approximately $15. See materials list below.
Optional: This course is available for 1.0 undergraduate credit for $615, including lab fee. Select credit option with price adjustment when registering.
