Woodcut printing is a physical, tactile process that is perfect for anyone who enjoys working with their hands. Using hand carving tools, students will learn to transfer an image to a woodblock and carve their designs using a wide variety of marks.
Participants will explore printing and registration techniques and come away with their own edition of prints.
Suitable for all levels, no prior experience is needed.

About the Print Instructor
Pamela was born in Halifax, N.S., and grew up in Toronto. She received a B.A. in Fine Arts from Brandeis University near Boston, MA.
Pamela Dodds’ practice in painting and printmaking explores the complexities and nuances of human relationships, primarily through figure-based imagery. Her work examines the uniqueness of personal experience and interconnectedness of humanity across time and space. She has exhibited regularly in Canada and the USA and prints have been purchased by the Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio, Capital One Bank, Toronto, among others, and many individuals. In 2017, Visual Arts Centre of Clarington, Ontario, presented Come Closer, a survey exhibition of her work in relief printmaking including her immersive installation of tall, colour relief prints entitled Undertow. Selections from Undertow have since appeared in Norway, Spain, Wales, Toronto and upcoming at Centre [3], Hamilton, ON. As a printer in Open Studio’s Visiting Artist program, Dodds supports accomplished artists to realize their visions in print media. She enjoys introducing creative people of all levels to relief printmaking.
