Arts Guild Holds Linoleum Block Printing Workshop

Registration is now open for an exciting new Linoleum Block Printing workshop at Arts Guild New Jersey (formerly The Arts Guild of Rahway). Linoleum Block Printing is a printmaking method in which a piece of linoleum is used in place of wood as a relief surface. This process is a great introduction to printmaking—demonstrations on design transfer, carving, and printmaking will be covered in this workshop on April 21, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Students will work on carving and printing their own blocks during this in-depth one-day adult workshop. All levels are welcomed.

The workshop will take place in the Arts Guild’s newly renovated studio classroom space on the corner of Esterbrook and Milton Avenues in Rahway. It will be led by Joe Zapytowski, an experienced instructor with an MFA in Printmaking with a focus on relief printing. Zapytowski is currently an adjunct professor at Kean University.

Workshops are a great way for students to explore new techniques in specialized areas without the commitment of an 8-week class. Sign up for this informative workshop and spend a day immersed in art with fellow art-lovers who have a range of experience.
