Printmaking from Tooled Leather
Instructor - Jim Weaver
Saturday & Sunday, June 8 & 9, 2019, from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Living in the heart of cowboy country, we’re surrounded by the trappings of the trade: saddles, belts, boots. But there’s another use for tooled leather—as a printmaking matrix. Using leather can impart some unique textures on prints—marks that can be hard to make in other ways. Stamps can add small details like circles, animals, plants. The leather can also be used for expressive line drawings, by cutting and outlining. Or all of these can be combined.
Saturday
