Relief Engraving is much like detailed wood engraving, but in this workshop we will use innovative plastic plates as our material. Learn carving techniques with engraving tools that focus on mark making, line, pattern and value, as well as printing techniques specific to the plastic plate.

The plates provides incredible opportunity for detail. Focusing on tool usage and carving motor skills, we spend ample time learning what marks each too makes, and how to employ line, pattern and value. Participants will have ample time to work on planning an image, executing their engraving, and when ready will learn inking and printing best practices for use with plastic plates.
