Contemporary Mokuhanga: Experimental and Alternative Methods
Yoonmi Nam
Tuition $1,250

Expand the possibilities of contemporary mokuhanga through experimental approaches to Japanese-style water-based woodblock printing. This workshop introduces alternative methods such as no-cut woodblock printing, white-line woodcut, printing with natural pigments, and other inventive processes. Participants are encouraged to explore unconventional materials and experimental image-building processes that can complement traditional mokuhanga. Through demonstrations, discussions, and studio experimentation, students investigate how this non-toxic and press-free process continues to evolve as a dynamic form of creative expression, connecting tradition and innovation while offering endless possibilities for artists.

Drypoint with Mixed Media
Denise Karabinus
Tuition $1,250
Code R0202-26
In this experimental and playful printmaking class, students explore exciting chine collé techniques — affectionately dubbed the “potato chip” method — learning to inlay one printed image inside another, and experiment with dynamic collage techniques in combination with drypoint. Beginning with drypoint techniques on plexiglass, printmakers explore new ways to breathe life into their work through innovative methods. Students are also invited to experiment with plates, papers, and prints from previous projects. All print media work well with these techniques and skills learned in this class can be applied to your practice in a multitude of ways.

Reduction Linocut: Blends, Layers & Registration
Israel Campos
Tuition $1,250
Code R0303-26
Dive into the compelling printmaking process of reduction linocut printed by hand on Japanese paper. The reduction method is a relief printmaking technique for making multi-color prints from one block of wood, or, in this class, linoleum. With each layer of carving and impression, students discover the transformation and complexity of their image, adding depth, color, and dynamism. The process results in a rich, textured print with layered detail specific to this unique medium. Students learn to prepare paper and blocks for printing using registration tabs and pins. Blend rolls and stencils are introduced as a means to add further detail and richness.
