Printmaking

Discover the exciting possibilities of this historically rooted medium. Our Printmaking program fosters a supportive studio atmosphere where artists of all levels have the freedom to experiment and learn new techniques. Summer printmaking workshops, taught by accomplished artists and educators, offer a fresh take on the medium, mixing traditional processes with experimental attitudes.

Anderson Ranch’s Patton Printmaking Studio is clean, spacious, and outfitted with a variety of presses and equipment to accommodate screen printing, relief, intaglio, monoprinting, bookmaking, mokuhanga, and lithography. Students have access to individual work tables, wall space, rags, hand tools, computers with Adobe software, wifi, printing, scanning, and projection capabilities.

At Anderson Ranch, the process of printmaking honors tradition, innovation, community and collaboration. We invite you to explore, experiment and expand your visual expression in this captivating environment.

Woodcut and Monoprint with Digital Applications

Jean Gumpper

Tuition $1,345
Code R0505-25

This rigorous, engaging, printmaking workshop combines monoprint and woodcut processes with a digital component. We incorporate laser-cut stencils and wood blocks together with painterly and carved marks to create images. We begin with observational studies from the natural world and explore multiple plate monotype methods. Woodcut techniques including laser-cut blocks are then added to layer transparent and opaque color. We make both editioned and unique prints, alternating between structure and improvisation. This back-and-forth serves as the format for the course as we combine multiple matrices in many ways.
