Allerton Park & Retreat Center

Experience Level: Beginner

Learn printmaking processes at Lino Cuts & Prints on Sunday, Jan. 25 from 12 to 4 p.m. in The Studio.

For a very long time, printmakers have transferred images from specially prepared plates to plants, fabric, wood and metal. In this workshop, instructor Billie Theide will help students learn to design, carve, prepare ink and transfer images to make unique works of art. Each student will get a toolkit that will enable them to continue to work at home.

$135/person. Registration will close Jan. 18 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final.

If you will need disability-related accommodation to participate, please email Olivia at owarren@illinois.edu.

By attending, you consent to your image being used in Allerton marketing, social media and publications. Please alert the photographer or videographer if you do not want your image taken.
