More pics from the class, including the different stages of the woodcut:

Monday
Draw the design down and seal with shellac:

32in x 24in blocks lined up, shellac drying, to begin cutting tomorrow.

A little over 1/2 of the students' blocks drying overnight

Tuesday
Ink up the whole block with 1rst color (no white of paper in this print) and print onto 18 pieces of Mulberry:

Yellow printed on the mulberry paper, no cuts yet.

Then cut the block for that 1st color (where you want the yellow part of the print to remain pure yellow), and ink up block with color #2, bright pink:

Color #2, bright pink

And the print:

Color #2 (bright pink) over yellow, creates a salmony red.

Wednesday

Cut for 2nd color (where you want the red to remain on print), and ink block with 3rd color (bright lime-green):

Bright green ink used for color #3.

And print:

The print, now with 3 colors.

Thursday
Cut for 3rd color (where the green-now olive in print- shall remain), and ink with 4th color (bright violet):

Color #4 is bright violet.

And the print:

Print with 4 colors, causing the bright green to print olive brown (over the underlying layers), and the purple to change to brownish purple

I liked the look of this purple image, and since I had to cut out much of the purple (including the silhouette of the hilltop farm) in order to print the final black run, I decided to print some tees with it:

The purple block printed onto some tees.

Friday
Cutting and inking for 5th/final color: black

Final color: black

And the final print:

The final print! Finished at 11:50pm, Friday night. 'Turkey Promenade' • 30in x 22in • 5 color reduction woodblock print, edition of 15

Here’s some pics of the class:

The classroom, with 4 blocks/students to each table.

This student carefully pulls the print off of the block after printing it.
