relief printing / 凸版印刷

今天拿到上週五的凸版印刷作品了，印刷術真是個神奇的創作方式，不同顏色組合，一張底圖可以生出無數種組合。

I finally got the works made in the relief printing workshop last Friday. Printmaking is such an amazing medium. With combinations of different colors, endless versions can be produced from a single draft.

工作坊當天應該要有十五名同學出現的，但大家對於學習沒有游大嬸的熱情，只有七個人來，不過這樣也好，下午剩下的六個人用兩台1850年生產的印刷機用到不亦樂乎，今天和特蕾莎說這個小秘密時，她說希望她那組也有很多人缺席，我下學期肯定還要再回去學其它技法，雖然我是真的付了很多學費，但能夠用到這些機器，也是要修好幾世的福啊！

There were supposed to be fifteen students in the workshop, but not everyone is so passionate about learning as me. Only seven people showed up, which was good. By the afternoon, the remaining six people had so much fun using the two old pressing machines that date back to 1850. When I told Teresa this, she said she hopes many people in her group will be absent too. I am definitely going back next term to learn other techniques. I did pay exorbitant tuition fees, but I have to admit that it takes the total amount of luck of several lives to be able to use these precious machines!
