If you think you might love the Mojave desert, always wanted to visit Death
Valley, and want to have fun making woodcuts in the midst of a perfectly
quiet and mysterious Nevada ghost town, you're in luck!
Don't worry, the ghosts are friendly and there's plenty of water nearby in
the very civilized town of Beatty, a short drive from Las Vegas, Nevada.
Nevada's new home for artists, the Goldwell Open Air Museum, presents...

Members: $140 for both days
Non-Members: $175 for both days
Beatty Residents: $50 per day
Additional studio time: $25 per day
Woodcut printmaking is a very simple and rewarding process. An image is
drawn on a block of wood (or linoleum). The areas that are not part of the
image are cut out, leaving the image in relief. Ink is rolled onto the
block, paper is placed on the inked block, and pressure is applied to the
back of the paper. When the paper is lifted the image is transferred,
transformed by the cutting, fresh and beautiful.
This workshop will cover the essentials of relief printmaking and introduce
more advanced techniques. Participants of every level can be accommodated.
In the spirit of printmaking tradition, participants will create a minimum
of one small edition in order to exchange prints with every other
participant and walk away with a beautiful collection.
Two full days of dedicated instruction, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Additional on-site
guidance provided as needed for participants wishing to rent studio space to
continue work outside the workshop hours between October 13th -17th.
