AIGA San Diego is pleased to promote the following community event as we think it may be of interest to our members; this event is not hosted by AIGA.

Make original, reproducible relief block prints!

Linocut is a graphic relief printmaking technique in which a block of linoleum is carved by hand to produce a matrix that can be used for multiple prints. The linoleum block is inked with a roller and then impressed onto paper or fabric. All materials provided, so get ready to get inky and walk away with your own stamped paper!

We will have blanks cards to make prints for the holidays!
