The white-line print, also known as the Provincetown Print, originated in Provincetown, Massachusetts in 1915. In this two-day workshop with artist Peter Michael Martin, participants will learn the technique to create a white-line, multi-color print using watercolors from a singular carved woodblock in a small class setting. Students should bring at least two simple drawings influenced by the Cape area (or abstract welcome too) around 6” x 8” in size and a snack or lunch for 1/2-hour community time halfway through each session.

Peter Michael Martin is an internationally recognized artist and experienced educator. His exhibition "Martin & Moby" was hosted by the New Bedford Whaling Museum in Massachusetts in 2014 and traveled in 2015 to Tokyo, Japan. In the summer of 2019 the Cape Cod Museum of Art held an exhibition titled "Moby Dick: Inspired Visions" transforming the historic Hope-McClennen Gallery into a captivating and thought provoking space. Martin's monumental Tyvek silhouettes reflect themes realized in the text of Herman Melville's novel, Moby Dick. Three significant white-line woodblock prints were included in this exhibit. In June 2019 Martin collaborated in a Moby Dick iPhone photography project titled "Altered Visions" which examined the relationship between Ishamel and Queequeg and presented that at the 12th International Melville Conference in New York, NY. In June of 2022 Martin once again collaborated on another iPhone photography series "Cal Me Ahab" and presented and exhibited at the 13* International Melville Conference in Paris, France.
