Relief Printing Anywhere

About

Relief Printing Anywhere is a two-session online workshop from the Center for Book Arts, taught by Elizabeth (Beth) Sheehan, a printmaker, papermaker and book artist based in Chicago. In the first evening you experiment with materials for relief blocks, image transfer, carving tools and sharpening. In the second you learn printing techniques, registering multiple blocks and making reduction woodcuts. You can work from household materials or from wood and linoleum, and print by hand with a spoon, so no press is needed. It meets on Mondays 23 November and 30 November 2026, 6pm to 8pm each evening. You supply your own materials: linoleum, a linocut tool, a brayer, a wooden spoon, relief printing ink, towels and cleanup supplies, and paper; a detailed list is emailed when you register. Both sessions are recorded and viewable for up to 30 days. Registration closes on 9 November. The page states neither a level nor a minimum age. Tuition is pay-what-you-can, with five tiers: Support Another Student $160 (the default), Generous Tuition $120, Suggested Tuition $80, Subsidized Tuition $40 and Significant Financial Hardship $20. It is online, so there is no travel; the Center is at 28 West 27th St, New York, NY 10001, near 28th St (R, W) and 23rd St (F, M, 1). In person, the Robert Blackburn workshop teaches Intro to Linocut on 3 November, and Bryant Park lists a free Relief Printmaking Workshop on 13 October.
