In ‘Sharpen-Up on Lino Printing’ you’ll learn all the basics of linoleum block printing and gain an in-depth understanding of the carving tools and techniques. This class is focused on creating a single plate image to hone in on different carving methods. The 4 hour long class will begin with an understanding of what linoleum relief printing is and how it works with an explanation of how to frame positive and negative space into your carving plans.
Next you’ll get to know our tools, familiarize ourselves with the lino cutters and practice a few carving techniques to get used to how they can work best for your style. After a review of what you learned together, the class will move on to creating a new block print of your own design with the techniques learned in the class.
The class will end learning how to ink and print the plates. You’ll get to explore monochromatic and rainbow roll techniques (a quick way to add color to your block print). All attendees will get to print the cover of their own notebook to take home and expand on your new skill!
Each attendee will walk away with:
Finished lino block of their own design
Test prints
Final print on acid-free printmaking paper
Notebook with custom printed cover
An understanding of the lino printing process from design to final print
Students will learn how to use the following printmaking supplies available at ARCH:
Speedball carving tool
Relief printmaking inks of various colors
Brayers (ink rollers)
Barren (hand press tool)
Translucent tracing paper
Good Printmaking paper
About Ray
Ray Gonzalez is a professional printmaker whose works have shown in group shows across the Bay Area and San Francisco over the last year in galleries like ACCI in Berkeley and SFWA Gallery and Hunt & Gather in San Francisco. They are an ArtSpan artist and outreach committee member, and a recent recipient of honorable mentions for LGBTQ+ artists from the John Sheridan Art Prize 2024. With an arts education from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, Gonzalez learned about design and color theory through their background in theatrical productions.
The art of storytelling is still very present in their work, though now mostly carved into a block of linoleum. On the art of Linoprinting they state, “I feel like Linoprinting or most relief printmaking is a satisfying dance between the embrace of positive and negative space. However life doesn’t exist only in the positive and negative, the spaces in between is where the beauty lies. How we choose to manipulate that space guides how we choose for our work to be seen.”

Alcatraz Island

Historic buildings

一數

Alcatraz Island is a stone island in San Francisco Bay, close to the Golden Gate, facing the old town of San Francisco, the scenery around the island is very beautiful. Because the water around the island is very deep and the water flow is very fast, the island used to be a prison. The island, which held the most famous and dangerous prisoners in the United States in the last century, became famous, and Hollywood made movies, and now it is a San Francisco Bay attraction.

Golden Gate Park

Family-Friendly Attractions

112***09

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. Most tourists will not go to this attraction specifically, but since we are traveling independently, we can visit it in a more relaxed manner. The environment design of this park is unparalleled and it is worth checking out.

Lombard Street

Night view

泰迪小熊

Came on September 24, 2017. This attraction is unique, beautiful and interesting, and definitely one of the must-see attractions to visit San Francisco. Jiuqu Flower Street is actually a section of Lombard Street, located between Hyde Street and Leavenworth Street. This section is a steep slope, but it is designed to be eight hairpin bends, and the road is full of flowers. If you need to shoot the effect of Jiuqu, you must stand at the low position of Leavenworth Street. Chinese people can drive by themselves in the western United States where San Francisco is located. If you will drive in San Francisco, you may wish to experience the feeling of driving through Jiuquhua Street.
