White-Line Woodblock Print with Darrell Smith

Dive into the history of white-line woodblock printing as an original American art form originating in Provincetown.

This two-day workshop will cover examples from Blanche Lazzell, Grace Martin Taylor, Mabel A. Hewit, and Bror Julius Olsson Nordfeldt, and students will be able to view original prints from the PAAM collection.

Students will also learn the step by step process of white-line including image transfer to a pine board, carving a simple matrix with an X-acto knife, and the initial paper printing stages with watercolor pigments. Participants will transfer an image to a board using graphite transfer paper, carve v-shaped grooves, attach printing paper, and begin the printing process with boxed water-colors.
