Reduction Linocut Printmaking Class Series
Instructor: @laurennicoledoesart

🗓️ Monday Evenings
June 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th & July 6th
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

In reduction printmaking, the artist creates a multi-color image from a single block, as layers are continuously printed and carved away, destroying the block in the process. The result is a beautiful edition of hand-pulled prints which can't be reproduced. Students should already have some experience with either linocut or woodcut printmaking, as this will be a fun but fast-paced class. An understanding of the basic concepts of relief carving and using oil-based printmaking inks is preferred. Feel free to reach out with questions if you'd like clarification! You will design, carve, and print a 6x8 inch linoleum block and leave with a small edition of unique prints. All supplies will be provided by the instructor. Students are encouraged to come with an idea or two for designs. We'll work together to modify them for the reduction process!

Instructor: Elizabeth Flint

🗓️ Monday, June 29th - Friday, July 3rd
1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Arts on Main’s High School Summer Art Workshops offer a dynamic, studio-based experience for teens looking to deepen their skills and expand their creative voice. These workshops are held in a professional gallery setting, which means students can take time to explore the art on display and sometimes talk with professional artists.

With guidance from an experience instructor, students are challenged to experiment, take creative risks, and develop a portfolio of works that reflect their individuality. Whether students are preparing for advanced study or simply looking to grow as artists, these workshops provide an inspiring and supportive environment to create, learn, and refine their craft.

All supplies are provided.
Cost is $25/per student for the WHOLE WEEEK!

Meet Monica Schauffler, Exhibiting Artist featured in Arts on Main’s May 2026 Group Show: “The Sky’s The Limit”

“I am a visual artist currently painting with oil, acrylic, and water media. Originally trained as film editor, I now paint full time. My work is inspired by the natural beauty and people I discover where I live and when traveling. While painting, I find myself in a timeless zone where memories and dreams influence my work. Each painting becomes a journey, changing over time until it combines imagery and emotion in a way that seems true to me. My paintings are exhibited regionally and can be found at schaufflerart.com.”

Meet Karen Pittman, Exhibiting Artist featured in Arts on Main’s May 2026 Group Show: “The Sky’s The Limit”

Originally from Virginia Beach, Karen moved to the Blue Ridge region where she attended Ferrum College and then Virginia Tech. Upon graduation, business took her back to the coast where she lived until she met and married her husband of 43 years. They lived in Roanoke until moving to Mathews County in 2020.

Karen was always driven to create, with a pencil or paintbrush and although she had no formal training until college, she obtained an associate’s degree in fine art, and a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design.

She says “The quiet contemplative nature of painting transports me to the places I paint, which are often land and seascapes in oil. Trying to create shadows in a cloud or the luminosity of a wave in sunlight, is such a fun challenge to me.”

Karen studied under many fine Virginia artists such as Ernest Johnson, Robert Carter and Jane Duncan Stogner. In recent years she continued classes with workshops in Raleigh NC, allowed her to study with Robert Burridge, Lisa Boardwine, Kimberly Maselli, Sterling Edwards and Tom Lynch. In 2023 she studied under local artist Gary Edmondson and national Plein Aire Artist Joe Gyrczak of NY. 2024 brought classes from the VA. Museum of Fine Arts with color and portrait studies.
