Discover the art of linocut printmaking with artist Leah Petersen in an inspiring, beginner-friendly workshop set in the heart of Yosemite. In a warm and encouraging environment, Leah will guide you step by step—teaching how to safely carve, transfer, and print your own Yosemite-inspired designs. Drawn from the park’s majestic landscapes, wildlife, and plant life, your creations will connect you to a rich artistic tradition that celebrates Yosemite’s beauty, from Ansel Adams to today’s printmakers. Leave with new skills, confidence, and a collection of original prints that capture your personal vision of the park.
