PRINTMAKING

Beginning and Intermediate Print Sampler    PR01FA10
Come to gain knowledge and be engaged. Explore the basics of printmaking, or further develop new approaches to your imagery. Students may concentrate in one area or experiment with a variety of techniques including etching, woodcut, monotype, collagraph, silk aquatint, chine collé and transfer prints. This class will inform and energize. We can even turn your drawings into prints!
Instructor: Barbara Harder
Tuesdays, 7 - 10pm, Sep 21 - Dec 7

Intermediate Printmaking    PR02FA10
Continue your exploration of printmaking, while expanding knowledge and developing your personal style. Have the use of our four etching presses which now include a Charles Brand press in a private room, for making editions or to have a quiet corner in which to print. Intaglio, relief, collagraph, transfer and mixed media printmaking can be explored.
Instructor: Vanilia Majoros

New Directions in Monoprint    PR03FA10
The Monoprint process offers a creative approach to making imagery. We will use this “painterly process” on a smooth surface, as well as make additional plates with a number of techniques such as carborundum, intaglio, plexiglass and paper lithography. These will be the foundation for a unique print exploration. As they are printed, “a story” or conversation of shape, color, line, texture and narrative will emerge. Overprinting and combinations of layering, patterns and colors will generate new imagery and encourage the artist to take both calculated steps and wild risks. Ultimately, a new vocabulary will be formed with these edition variant prints: related edition monoprints from unique plates. Some printmaking experience is helpful.
Instructor: Roxanne Faber Savage
Tuesdays, 10am - 2pm, Sep 21 - Dec 7
12 sessions: $457; members: $411

Advanced Printmaking    PR04FA10
Join in a journey of discovery while giving yourself the studio time you’ve always needed. Explore the benefits of printing in multiple layers with intaglio, relief, silk aquatint, solar, polymer and silicone processes, mixed media, chine collé and experimental techniques. This class is designed for the experienced printmaker who is ready for personal artistic investigation. Students will look at artwork, plan individualized approaches and discuss exhibition opportunities. Expand your visual vocabulary while creating new artistic goals.

Monotype/Monoprint    PR05FA10
What’s the difference between a monotype and a monoprint? Discover the answer as you experiment with the many variations and endless possibilities of both printmaking approaches. Students will use a variety of tools and techniques as they explore additive, subtractive and viscosity inking as well as stenciling, chine collé, Xerox transfer, relief, intaglio and more. Returning students will continue to pursue individual projects; new students will be introduced to the many ways of creating unique prints.
