Want to take your artwork to a new level?  Add a new element to your repertoire and join this workshop.   Artists of all media are welcome to extend their creativity in new dimensions. 

The "Provincetown Print" or white-line, full-color woodcut is a relief printing process, utilizing one block only as the printing matrix.  It was invented in 1915 by the collaboration of a small group of artist in a spirit of experimentation.  While this class will give you all the basics to produce the white-line color woodcut as it was created, we will embrace the experimental nature of those artists and integrate their techniques to our other art-making processes.  The presses in the workshop may also be utilized, and other techniques of painting, drawing, and collage can be incorporated as well.

Participants will gain knowledge of conceptualizing and creating a drawing for the block, wood-carving techniques, paper selection, painting and printing the block, and will contribute to devising ways to utilize these techniques to add to their own methods of working. . Considering the workshop runs for just 5 sessions, it is suggested that you bring one or more sketches to jump-start your work. This workshop includes afternoon access to the print studio during non-class time. 

Bill Evaul is a painter and printmaker who studied at Syracuse University, the Whitney Museum and Pratt Institute with Jacob Landau and George McNeil.  He received two fellowships from the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown and has lived and worked on outer Cape Cod ever since, giving lectures, leading workshops, producing artwork in a variety of media, and specializing in the white-line woodcut. As a contributing writer for Print Review and other magazines, he produced reviews and scholarly articles, including The Provincetown Printers: Genesis of a Unique Woodcut Tradition, which helped in the revival of the obscure and nearly lost technique. Evaul's work is in numerous public collections including The Museum of Fine Art Boston, The Library of Congress, Robert Blackburn’s Printmaking Workshop, The Zimmerli Museum of Art at Rutgers University, The Georgia Museum of Art, The Sunrise Art Museum, The Kresge Art Museum, and The Provincetown Art Association and Museum.
