Intermediate Block Printing
If you have some relief printing experience and want to expand your knowledge, this class is for you! We recommend taking the Intro to Block Printing class before this one if you're new to printing. Over the course of two sessions, this class will dive deeper in linocut techniques. As opposed to the Intro workshop, we'll get into precise paper registration, printing on fabric, using a printing press, and carving into linoleum instead of soft rubber. Let's geek out about printmaking together!
Saturdays, July 26 & August 2, 2:30-5:30pm
At OffCenter Community Arts Project, 808 Park Ave SW, ABQ.
Tiered pricing: Free $0 / Base $30 / Core $60 / Supporter $90

Teacher bio: Zimmy Chu (they/them) is a butch Chinese-American artist from the Appalachian foothills. They’re a painter, a printer, an avid sketchbooker, a lover of walks, and a collector of rocks. Zimmy believes wholeheartedly that only expansive love leads to collective liberation- and that creativity builds our capacity to show up for ourselves and each other with care. They do their best to meet people where they’re at, and they can’t wait to get to know you!
All materials provided. Previous block printing experience required.
Unless otherwise specified, OffCenter classes and workshops are intended for ages 16+.
Refund Policy: All of our classes have limited capacity and often sell out. Please let us know if you are unable to attend a class you’ve registered for so we can open up the spot for someone else. If you would like a refund for your class registration fee, you must let us know at least 48 hours ahead of the class start time. Cancellations received within 48 hours or less of class start times are not eligible for refunds, but your class fee can be transferred to a future class registration instead. If you have questions about your class registration, or to request a refund or class transfer, please call, email, or talk to staff in person at OffCenter during Open Studio hours.
Why are there multiple prices? All of our classes are offered at a sliding scale, with a free option available to anyone that requests it. When possible, we make the base option available in order to partly cover the cost of the class. The core price is the "true" cost of the class OffCenter needs to cover paying our teachers and providing supplies and materials. If you are able to support at a higher level, paying the supporter price helps ensure we're able to continue offering a variety of classes and keep free spaces open for anyone that needs.
There are a limited number of free spots available online. If these are sold out, please email, call, or drop by the studio to sign up! Email info@offcenterarts.org.
