All Things Akua: Individual Tech Sessions
with Catherine Kernan – Schedule Individually

Working one-on-one, attention is focused on exactly what you want to learn for your particular project and way of working. The sessions include lots of printing, critique, and technical information all of which feed directly into aesthetic sensibilities. Equivalent in contact hours to a five-day workshop, but in a much more concentrated way, this way of working has proven highly satisfactory and very inspiring.

Additional 2026 Workshops with Catherine Kernan
Ink and Interference: The Artful Way of Printmaking
June 22-26, 2026
MakingArtSafely
Santa Fe, New Mexico
Register: https://makingartsafely.com/catherine-kernan
Two spaces have just opened up!
Turn your images into relief woodblocks without touching a carving tool.
In advance of the workshop, participants will be asked to digitally send images to Catherine for advice on selecting the best ones for CNC or laser engraving. Your CNC carved or laser engraved images will then be ready to use upon arrival at the studio. More blocks can be carved during the workshop, and hand carving can be added.
Carving woodblocks can fix an image, setting it up for repetition. Or woodblocks can be used in a dynamic way that yields unexpected results without reducing or re-cutting the blocks. Combinations of woodblocks set in motion long sequences in which related images recur and transform in an endless variety of evolving images.
