Description

​​​​​​Create unique fine art prints by learning linoleum and woodblock carving techniques! Experienced printmaker and artist Royce Deans will guide students through all the stages of the design, carving, and printmaking process to create multiple reusable designs from different sized linoleum and wood blocks. Students will be able to identify the different linocut carving blades and become familiar with their different uses.

All materials are included, but it is recommended that you bring your own linocut carving tools. Some classroom linocut tools are available for use. See THIS LINK for a recommended kit option.

Royce Deans was born of parents that understood the important role that art plays in society and how crucial exposure to and participation is to the development of a young person. He was raised in the western suburbs of Chicago with access to museums and concert halls of every variety. Graduating from the American Academy of Art in Chicago gave him the foundation to build a life in the arts.

“Moving to Traverse City some four decades ago set his art on a wonderful trajectory. He counts each artistic endeavor as a rich experience that has shaped him into the artist he is today. Northern Michigan is such an incredibly beautiful place, the landscape has, of course, become an overwhelming source of inspiration.

Royce’s love for teaching and art has allowed him to travel far and wide. His artwork is in collections public and private in the US and in many of the countries of Western Europe, Israel. Highlights of his travels have been presenting classes, workshops, and retreats.
