This three-hour online class features discussion and demonstrations of a variety of printmaking techniques using a craft die-cutting machine. Also called Craft Presses, some adventurous printmakers have discovered that these roller presses originally designed for craft embossing and die-cutting offer a small, inexpensive and portable alternative to big expensive etching and printing presses. Common brands include We R Memory Keepers Evolution Adjustable Die-Cutting and Embossing Machine, Bira Adjustable Cutting and Embossing Machine, Sizzix Big Shot and Big Shot Pro, QuicKutz Epic Six Tabletop Die Cutting & Embossing Machine, Fiskars Fuse Creativity Die Cut Machine and more.

Techniques covered:

• Inking, impression and registration
• Dampening paper
• Relief printing with unmounted linoleum: one-color, reduction and multiple blocks
• Low-relief collagraphs
• Monotypes
• Drypoint Intaglio

Each student will receive a detailed pdf handout with resources prior to the class. Printed examples of the techniques presented by Rebecca will be mailed to each participant following the class!
