Printmaker and book artist Sarah Matthews turns bold graphics and hand-carved blocks into paper-sized megaphones for big ideas, and in this class she shows you how to do the same. Suitable for printers of all levels, learn how to transfer your image to linoleum, carve it by hand, and proof your design in layers of color. You’ll also discover how to make tear-away strips using a perforated blade, perfect for adding interactive elements or sharing your message one tab at a time. Come with a cause, or just a clever idea, and leave with a striking print ready to make some noise.
