press release: Monday, November 7, 6-9 pm & Monday, November 14, 6-8 pm, $125

Let’s create an image that tells a story. In this two-part series organized by One x One Thousand, artist Jenie Gao will teach us the basics of storytelling through woodblock carving and printing. You don’t have to be a graphic artist to take this workshop, we’ll provide images that you can combine to create your story so you can focus on learning the process We start from creating the concept, then learn the process of transferring the image, carving the block, printing the image and finishing. At the end you’ll take home your own hand-carved wood block and a set of prints. Your woodblock will be beautiful enough on its own to hang as artwork or use it to replicate your design for gifts. And we’ll have mat boards for easy framing after the class.
