Vibrant Layers: A Gradient Inking Woodcut Workshop
With Cesar Garcia
Join us for an exciting hands-on workshop with artist Cesar Garcia as he introduces the dynamic technique of gradient inking in woodcut printmaking.
In this session, you’ll learn to carve your own design into MDF plywood and explore the rich possibilities of blending color directly on the block. Cesar will guide you step-by-step through the process, sharing techniques for achieving smooth transitions, bold contrasts, and layered visual effects.
Perfect for both beginners and experienced artists, this workshop covers essential tools, materials, and inking methods that will elevate your printmaking practice. By the end of the day, you’ll walk away with a series of vibrant prints that showcase the interplay of carved texture and flowing color.
Come ready to experiment, create, and be inspired!
