Make+Take: Tile Linocut

This evening workshop in the Printmaking Studio offers a focused, hands-on introduction to linocut carving and hand printing, with a playful twist: participants will create their own repeating tiled pattern. The session is designed for absolute beginners, so no prior experience is required. Attendees choose from pre-drawn square designs etched into soft linoleum blocks, carve their own motif, and then print by hand to produce a repeating pattern. All materials are included, and the workshop is led by Dr. Pamela Harris Lawton, a distinguished printmaker and art educator. The class has reached capacity, but a waitlist is available.
