Students will learn the techniques and history of wood engraving and how it differs from conventional woodcut. "Black line" and "white line" design and image transfer techniques will be covered. Students will be able to experiment with different engraving tools to achieve a variety of marks. Engravings will be printed using a press as well as by hand burnishing.
