West Side Fest: Woodblock-Inspired Printing Workshop

Artist and educator Sato Yamamoto will lead an engaging hands-on workshop focused on the art of linocut printing, a relief printmaking technique that combines creativity and craftsmanship. During this immersive session, participants will discover the essential steps involved in linocut printing, from carving their designs to inking the linoleum block, and finally producing their own prints.

This special workshop is held in conjunction with the museum’s exciting exhibitions Puerto Rico in Print: The Posters of Lorenzo Homar and Fallout: Atoms for War & Peace. Attendees  are encouraged to draw inspiration from the visual narratives presented by the vibrant and thought-provoking works on display. Feel free to bring along your own designs, or simply let the art around you spark your creativity as you carve out your masterpiece from a modest piece of lino.

This program is suitable for attendees over the age of 8.
