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.

The Hybrid Woodcut Print

Karen Kunc

Tuition $2,150
Code R1514-25

This workshop merges traditional oil-based woodblock printing and contemporary watercolor woodblock techniques (mokuhanga). Students discover that it is possible to do both processes for an edition of prints, achieved in stages and sequences, with planning and spontaneity. Our hands-on attitude encourages innovations that achieve and explore the best of both methods. Our creative techniques inspire open-ended, playful experimentation in the print studio for a clean atmosphere and safe environment for support and learning. This workshop keeps the processes alive with possibilities and innovations that subvert and reinvent the color woodblock print.
