Date: Sundays, October 23, 30, November 6 and 13
Time: 1:30 PM - 4:30 PM ET
Fee: $180 ($162 Members)
Scratchboard is the process of removing ink with a knife blade to create a black and white illustration. Using different angles of a blade can produce the look of fine lace or a traditional woodcut with strong, bold lines. Using both an angled knife blade and a flexible ink quill, students will explore the wonderful variety of textures achievable using two very simple instruments.
A supply list will be made available soon.
