About this event

  • 2 hours

In this workshop we will create wood block prints using the laser cutter. Your pre-made designs will be vaporized into wood, which we will then ink and press onto paper to develop high-detail designs. This modern take on the traditional printing method allows one to easily reproduce unique designs as well as develop and change designs on the fly. Please come to the course with either a black and white drawing or a vector-based image designed on a software like inkscape or illustrator.
