Join us for a hands-on printmaking class where you'll learn the art of linoleum block relief printing! In this beginner-friendly workshop you'll learn how to design, carve, transfer your image onto linoleum, tear paper, and print your own custom artwork using linoleum blocks, carving tools, and water soluble ink. You'll also learn how to sign your prints following traditional printmaking practices. Whether you’re interested in making prints for framing, cards, or even future stamp designs, this class offers a fun and creative introduction to a timeless printmaking method. You'll leave with finished prints, your hand-carved block for future use, and the skills to keep creating on your own.

Pysanky - Ukrainian Egg Decorating
with Nancy Rhoades, Coconino Community College - Flagstaff

Pysanky (pronounced “PIH-sahn-keh”) is a fascinating traditional Ukrainian egg-decorating technique passed down through generations since pagan times. Simple to intricate designs are applied to an egg with melted beeswax using a special tool called a "kistka", then the egg is dipped into progressively darker-colored dyes. A multi-layered pattern results that is revealed when the wax is melted off at the end. This wax-resist style of decorated egg is one of Ukraine's national symbols.
In this workshop, you will learn to make these beautiful eggs yourself! You will be provided with examples, direct instruction and support as well as all the tools and materials needed to design and create your own pysanka.*
You will also learn about the history of this art and the symbolic meaning of some traditional designs related to nature, fertility, protection, and religious beliefs.
*Pysanky is the plural form of pysanka, a wax-resist decorated egg. The word comes from the Ukrainian verb pysaty (писати), which means "to write,” as the designs are not painted on, but written with beeswax.
Instructor Nancy Rhoades is a retired teacher with a lifetime of experience in making things…from pottery to calligraphy and illumination, from sewing and weaving to writing pysanky, and more. One year when teaching 4th grade, she showed her students a film called “The Ukrainian Egg,” and knew right away that she needed to try that for herself! After learning a craft, the natural next step for Nancy is to teach it to others, so she is delighted to have the opportunity from CCC to share this particularly beautiful folk art with you.

Comet Walk - Geology of Picture Canyon
with Amelinda Webb, Coconino Community College - Flagstaff

Come explore the volcanic history of Picture Canyon Natural and Cultural Preserve through the eyes of a geologist. From the dark lava flows and cinder volcanoes, to the ancient sea floor of the pale limestone underneath, we'll see examples of the Earth processes that formed the area and how the Rio de Flag continues to sculpt it today.
The 2.2 mile hike will start at the trailhead of Picture Canyon Natural and Cultural Preserve and loop along Tom Moody Trail to the Don Weaver Trail where we can see the Petroglyph Overlook and Pithouse, before dropping down into the valley of the Rio de Flag to cross the bridge, and then coming back around to the Tom Moody Trail as it climbs the flank of a dormant cinder cone volcano to a beautiful view of a waterfall on the way back to the trailhead.
Dr. Amelinda Webb has been exploring Earth's history ever since getting hooked on geology in college. From exploring rocky landscapes across the US to researching ancient sea fossils around the world to teaching Coconino Community College students how to listen to the story that every rock tells, Dr. Webb has a passion for the natural world and loves getting to share that enthusiasm.
