- The Big Ink experience was very rewarding. Having access to a wealth of information through the master class, each artist works individually and joins the group on print day, which is a collaborative activity. It is labor intensive and a challenge to carve within the time frame. The culmination of printing is exciting and seeing the possibilities within the medium as everyone approaches the process and imagery differently is very informative. Lyell runs the printing at a great pace and helps each participant with professionalism, expertise, and sincerity. Lyell has great energy and a method of printing that gets the whole group working collaboratively on print day. As a two time participant, I can say Lyell has a routine that works well and I am glad I had the opportunity to rediscover woodblock printmaking on a large scale with Big Ink.

- The Big Ink Master Class and printing day were both well done. I learned so much, loved the process, and enjoyed meeting and working with other artists. It truly was an all-around great day. I would absolutely participate again. Lyell was super informative, supportive, and helpful. Thanks for the great experience.
