Regional Printmaking Exhibition
NCCA-Artsplace
Regional Printmaking Exhibition – January 11 – February 24
Reception, January 20 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Jansma Gallery at NCCA-Artsplace
This regional exhibit encompasses all forms of printmaking, including traditional copper etching, intaglio images, wood block print, lino cut, lithography, serigraphy (silk screen), collagraph printmaking and more.
The history of printmaking began in the Han Dynasty China. The earliest known example, a woodblock print on silk, has been dated sometime during the Han Dynasty from 206 B.C. to 220 A.D. Modern printmaking can involve silk screens, aluminum plate, and even heat presses.
A wide variety of printmaking tools and equipment showing the processes will also be part of this dynamic exhibit. Be on the lookout for early spring classes and enjoy live demonstrations at the reception on January 20!
Come explore this diverse artform!
If you would like your print considered for this exhibition, please contact Lindsay Isenhart, NCCA-Artsplace 231-924-4022 or email . The show is open to all types of printmaking from Michigan artists.

In relief printing, a reduction print is a multicolor print in which the separate colors are printed from the same image at different stages. Usually, the lightest color of the design is printed first, then the block is “reduced” by carving to the areas which the artist wants to print the second color from, and so forth. This great block printing class uses soft cut blocks to make the carving easy on your hands while allowing maximum creativity! Participants will carve and print their block creating over a half dozen acrylic ink printed images or cards. Great for holiday cards or framing.
