Upcoming Wood Engraving Workshops
I will be teaching a week-long wood engraving workshop in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York State June 16 - 22, 2024. By day, workshop participants will be guided through the entire process from transferring an image, to engraving, to printing small editions. Participants will learn about types of wood used for engraving, care and sharpening of tools, safe use of printing equipment, ink mixing, and types of paper. Printing by hand as well as on a Vandercook proof press will be covered. By night, you can continue to work in the studio, or enjoy a drink and build a fire by the lake. No previous engraving or printing experience is necessary, but patience, good eyesight, and a steady hand are very helpful.

If you're unable to travel to the FInger Lakes this June, perhaps you will be able to join me at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina in July, where my good friend and colleague, the masterful Joanne Price of Starpointe Studio, will be teaching a week-long workshop, and I will be acting as her humble assistant.
