Hotel Room--whiteline wood print

I will be teaching

 Whiteline Woodblock Printmaking again this year at the Peninsula School of Art.

June 11, 12, 13!  9AM to 4PM

Workshop ID PD1507

I have begun another print.

I will be splitting my time between this,

going to school to learn the lost wax casting process,

and making a road map for an island of businesses which are the 

heart of Cross Plains, Wisconsin.

I'd like to get the map done by Trout Days.

 So, it begins!

This time I'm using Shina Plywood,

because I've not used it in a very long time,

and I happened to have a nice big sheet here.

I've yet to update this WoodPrints blog,

but, in the mean time

you can see a collection of my WhiteLine wood print posts

HERE.

I've got wood being readied for new blocks 

the progress of which I hope to post.

Right now my mind is being held hostage by a Paddlefish.

Ex Libris prints

"In conjunction with the Guenzel Gallery exhibition, Out of the Woods, 

join us for a free print fair with participating artist Linda Kelen 

and create a small woodblock print. 

All materials provided."

 It's happening this coming Saturday in Fish Creek...

Door County, Wisconsin...

so I've been cutting wood and printing the blocks as fast as I can 

to show what's possible to do in a short amount of time. 
I'm just using 1/4" and 3/8th inch Shina Plywood.

I'll post them here as I finish them.

An ExLibris print 

seems (to me) to be a perfect end goal 

for whomever might want to pick up a knife.

Personalization possible!
 So.....we'll see what happens.

Woodprints postings

There is only so much time,

and I seem to have managed to get myself into more activities 

than planetary time allows.

Having neglected this blog for reasons unknown,

since I have been actively cutting and printing woodblocks,

I'll begin by showing you what I did last night,

and work backward for a bit.

Snapped with my cell phone,

this is one of the 4" x 6" woodblocks I cut it generate some interest in a public woodprint workshop I'm involved in at the Peninsula School of Art in conjunction with a fine woodprint show they are readying for.

I'll have more information soon.

This next one will be printed sometime this afternoon:

4"x6" block to be printed next.

The whiteline wood print completed last week.

 I AM teaching a short three day WhiteLine Woodblock printmaking class at the Peninsula School of Art.

I'll do my best to keep this a bit more up to date....

in the mean time, my blog ARTINGS gets a little more attention.
