Join artist and educator John Well-Off-Man for an introduction to the exciting world of linocut printmaking. Participants will begin by visiting John’s exhibition, “Language, Land, & Resistance”, where he will share the inspiration and creative process behind his work.

Students will then use linocut blocks created and carved by John to explore the basics of relief printing, experiment with different inks, and learn how to prepare and apply ink. John will also demonstrate how to use a printing press and will guide participants through pulling their own prints. This hands-on workshop offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from an accomplished exhibiting artist.
