Building Layers in Monoprint
Laura Berman
Tuition $1,345
Code R0908-25
Taking an exploratory approach to image making, this workshop combines a variety of collage and printmaking techniques. Monoprint techniques are taught in combination with archival collage techniques, with an emphasis on color and printed layers. Students are encouraged to work beyond the first layer of printed imagery to create a new body of work that extends in size and has no technical limitations. With a focus on color, shape, line, and pattern, the goal of this workshop is to further each student’s image vocabulary using printmaking and collage.

Large-Scale Woodblock with Mixed Media
Yashua Klos
Tuition $1,345
Code R1009-25
Explore the process of translating imagery into the dynamic mark-making intrinsic to the medium of woodblock printmaking and collage. We embark on combining elements of woodblock printmaking, drawing, cut paper, and other collage materials to produce complex and compelling imagery. Students add to their practice with a whole new toolbox of methods as well as new conceptual approaches to the woodblock medium. While the primary tenets of traditional block printing are covered, printmaking operates as a means to facilitate the student’s concept. Students gain knowledge of the fundamentals of woodblock printmaking: carving, reproduction, registration, and inking, as well as various collage applications to produce a multilayered surface.

Water-Washed Mokuhanga & Stencil
Keiko Hara
Tuition $1,345
Code R1110-25
In this multifaceted printmaking workshop, students discover that the water-washed mokuhanga and stencil printing processes on washi paper have the exciting possibility of expanding the surface and dimensional quality of image making. In the mokuhanga printing process, the water-washed pigments on the carved woodblock are pressed down into the washi paper. The water-washed pigments are applied to the washi paper directly through the stencil, which prints the raised surface. Students learn this process including carving and hand printing to create and experience the result: a beautiful, multilayered, and luminous print.
