We are excited to announce that we are offering another 2 day session with Lee Ann this June. Woodcut, one of the oldest forms of printmaking, brings particular possibilities and challenges. Using Shina wood, you will learn proper carving, registration, paper preparation and inking techniques. Color will be added to the black and white print with watercolor. All materials are provided. This class is appropriate for beginning and advanced students. Ages 16+.

About the instructor: Lee Ann Frame is an artist many people in West Michigan are familiar with. A retired art instructor at Muskegon Community College, Lee Ann is recognized regionally and nationally for her exquisite printmaking which she has exhibited extensively. She also sells her prints at the Muskegon Museum of Art and and in our retail gallery at the ACWL-Nuveen. In 2024, Lee Ann started teaching two-day intensive printmaking classes at the ACWL-Nuveen, offering instruction in linocut and woodcut techniques. Her excellent teaching inspired a dedicated group of printmakers at the Arts Council who now meet on a regular basis to further their skills and use our printing press.

As with all ACWL-Nuveen classes, all materials will be provided for this course. The cost to participate is $170. If that fee is out of reach, we do have Pay-What-You-Can pricing available, thanks to the ACWL-Nuveen Scholarship Fund. Students who can’t afford the $170 fee can sign up and pay $90 by entering the Woodcut90 coupon code when registering.
