PART 1 OF 4 PART SERIES IN LINOCUT PRINTMAKING
In a world of AI generated art, learn to carve and print your own designs in our linocut series with Portland artist, Chloe Cotsifas.
A Bay area native, Chloe grew up the daughter of a multidisciplinary artist and with her hands on everything arts and crafts related. Often inspired by vintage quilt and embroidery patterns and food, Chloe’s linocuts tend to lean towards layered images that play with color and the viewers perception of what are seemingly familiar everyday objects.
In this first 4 part series we’ll explore:
Basics of Linocut - how to sketch, carve, and print a handmade linocut image on both paper and fabric
Chloe will guide us in bringing our visions to life and each participant will take home 5-7 prints.
