Learn how to create a powerful design, then carve your image on a soft block (easy on the hand and wrist) with Speedball tools. Next you will print with high quality Charbonnel etching inks, modified for relief printing, to achieve beautiful rich blacks for waterproof prints. And last, you will try out watercolor techniques for tinting the blocks, including graded washes for multiple colors. All of this without a press and no toxic materials for cleanup!
