In-Person Class: Printmaking the Natural World | Linoleum Block Printing Workshop

  • Saturday, November 23
  • 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM MT
  • Georgia O'Keeffe Museum , 217 Johnson Street, Santa Fe, NM.

Space is limited, registration required. Please email contact@gokm.org or call 505-946-1000 for assistance with event registration. All supplies included.

In this introductory class, journey into the world of printmaking by exploring the foundational principles and techniques used in block printing. 

Early in her career, Georgia O’Keeffe studied with the painter and printmaker Arthur Wesley Dow. In addition to his work as an artist and educator, Dow was the assistant curator for Japanese art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and his work with that museum’s collection of ukiyo-e woodblock prints heavily influenced his work on composition—including a book entitled Composition which had a tremendous impact on a generation of artists from O’Keeffe to Charles Burchfield and beyond. 

In this class, participants will begin with a short tour of the galleries for inspiration, and will then head to the classroom where they will have the opportunity to explore block printing through a combination of in-person technique demonstration and practice with contemporary linocut block printing. This workshop is great for anyone interested in printmaking as a medium, looking to build skills in printmaking, and/or already has experience in printmaking that they want to expand on.

This class is suitable for youth ages 12 and up. Children are welcome to participate alongside their adults.

Space is limited, reservations required. Please email contact@gokm.org or call 505.946.1000 for assistance with event registration.

This class will meet in front of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum , 217 Johnson Street, Santa Fe, NM. Registrants will be notified 24 hours in advance if the lesson is to be canceled.

Much of this small painting is occupied by a large tan clam shell. The shell seems to be partially open, and it offers a glimpse inside along its upper edge. The shell's hinge lies near the right side of the work. Branches of seaweed swirl behind the shell along the upper edge of the painting.
