Sitka’s Workshop Program welcomes people of all experience levels and backgrounds to experience the joy of making art and deepening our connection to nature on the Oregon Coast.

Draw inspiration from Sitka Center's stunning coastal landscape in this 3-day color woodcut printmaking class, open to all levels. We'll study notable West Coast woodcut artists like William Rice and Frances Gearhart, then head outdoors to sketch the surrounding forests, estuaries, and ocean views. And carve and print in the studio.
