Duluth Community Education

In this class, you will be working with an easy to use linoleum material, in which you will carve out your own design and print onto paper with Blick brand printing ink. The ink is water soluble and does not stain clothing. Carving and printing is a ton of fun; all you have to bring is your creativity! All materials included in the additional $20 materials fee due to the instructor.

This course will build watercolor skills through instruction, demonstrations and hands on experience. Learning the fundamentals and properties of this medium will help remove the mystery and anxiety of watercolor to better achieve your desired results. This course is for the beginners as well as those looking to review the basics. Minimum age 18. No class on October 11.
