Matt Brown Woodprints

I have taught several woodblock classes each year since 1997. That adds up to quite a few classes, quite a few students!
Each new class teaches new things. When asked how I learned my craft I explain about being primarily self-taught, but I realize this isn't accurate. That saying "to teach is to learn" applies to my case for sure, for I have learned the most from all the teaching over the years.

Here are print projects from a May, 2021 workshop at Snow Farm, a place I have taught each year since that first year of 1997. Students' imagery is, from left to right, by Leigh Niland, Nancy McEwen, Valerie Kohn, Susan Gelotte, Christine Mendelsohn, and Nathalie Garfinkle. It was a great class!

Prints from a class at the Art Sudents' League of Denver, CO in Feb, 2011:

Below find a few pics from a class at the Concord Art Association in Concord, MA, April 11 - 13, 2008:

Bob and Helen printing on the last day.

Denis carves while Liz and Penny work on other tasks.

At the end of the last day the class gathered for a group picture while Helen was printing her last block.

Prints from the workshops

Prints are approx. 4 1/2" x 6". Included are links on the names of students who maintain web-sites of their own work (look for underlines). Each student finishes and editions their print on the last day to be able to receive a portfolio of all the prints from the class. When you consider many of these prints were made by folks who may never have carved, made prints, or sometimes even taken an art class before, it is quite exciting to think of what this imagery represents!
