Instructor: Gabi

For the month of pride, we invite participants to remember our Queer and Trans-cestors through relief printing. In this class, learn how to carve and print multiple impressions of a relief block by hand. Draw inspiration from those who came before us to create hand-printed relief prints that honor their histories and celebrate our present existence. Lean into the somatic practice of hand sculpting a matrix to create a 2-dimensional image. 

For the month of pride, we are centering this class around Queer and Trans participants. If you do not identify with this community, please join us for a similar offering in the future.

Due to the topic of this class, we are offering a reduced rate option for BIPOC Queer and Trans participants with the intent of increasing accessibility and ensuring materials cost and labor are paid.

Accessibility: No prior printmaking experience needed. Fine motor skills are used in the carving process. Participants often stand during the hand-printing process but this can be adapted to a seated position if needed. Remaining parts of class can be done seated.

Masks required during class, additional ones will be provided.

If you would like to request a community-funded seat to support in covering the cost of this class, please email us at curiositystudioclass@gmail.com.
