Suminagashi is Japanese for floating ink.
Artist of the Week is Rose who used this process to create the background for her ocean themed linoleum print.
Relief printmaking is one of the more basic types and requires a raised inked surface. By removing areas from a material that you don’t want to be inked and inking only raised areas, you can easily transfer the image onto a surface. This process dates back to 200 A.D.
Tomorrow's Junior High Basketball game at Hoehne has been postponed. A new date will be added to the schedule some time this week. Thanks! Go Lions!!!
