Woodcut Printing Workshop

Tracy Aviary is hosting a woodcut printing workshop in Liberty Park on Friday, October 23, from 6 PM to 8:30 PM. The session is led by Jeanette Lukens, the aviary's former Artist in Residence, and runs under the tagline 'Design Your Own Original Piece.'

It's a full process in one evening: you'll design your own image, carve it into a small linoleum block, and then print it onto a 5 x 7 piece of paper. If you've never worked with a carving tool before, that's fine—the whole sequence happens right there in the room, so you'll walk through the design, the carving, and the printing in one go. You'll leave with a finished print of your own making.

Lukens knows the place well, having served as the aviary's Artist in Residence, and the workshop is set up for you to work through the whole thing from start to finish. The session runs from 6 PM to 8:30 PM on Friday, October 23, at the Tracy Aviary in Liberty Park, and costs $60.
