Macy Chadwick
3 sessions >> Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, March 10–12
10am–4pm, Studios 3 + 4, Pay-what-you-wish ($35 minimum donation, $315 class value)
No prerequisite.
Discover the creative potential of printing in layers on the letterpress. This dynamic class combines three different printmaking techniques, allowing you to create a series of beautiful prints with both intentional design and chance overlaps. Students will learn three processes pressure printing (drawing rich texture from objects creating a low relief surface), linoleum block printing (a traditional relief method using hand-carved blocks), and polymer plate printing, (inviting the integration of digital media and typography). Treat yourself to a weekend of creative play and leave with an inspiring series of prints!

What are my transport/parking options getting to San Francisco Art Institute?
All classes meet at 800 Chestnut Street (unless otherwise noted), between Jones and Leavenworth. You can find directions to campus on the SFAI website.
SFAI is located in a residential neighborhood, and free two-hour parking is available on all of the streets immediately surrounding the school. The two-hour restriction cuts off at 9pm, so evening Public Education students do not need to move their car, unless you arrive prior to 7pm.
