Layering Color and Light: Woodcut and Monoprint
Jean Gumpper
Tuition $1,160
Code R0404-24
This rigorous, engaging printmaking workshop focuses on monoprint and woodcut methods with an emphasis on layering color to produce luminous results. It begins with observational studies from the natural world, and explores trace, stencil, painterly, and multiple plate monotype methods. Woodcut techniques are then added to layer transparent and opaque colors to create a radiant sense of space. Students make both editioned and unique prints, alternating between structure and improvisation. This back-and-forth serves as the format for the course, combining printing using a woodcut matrix with a variety of monoprint methods.

Woodcut and Monoprint with Digital Applications
Jean Gumpper
Tuition $1,160
Code R0505-24
This rigorous, engaging printmaking workshop combines monoprint and woodcut processes with a digital component. Students incorporate laser-cut stencils and wood blocks with painterly and carved marks to create images. The class begins with observational studies from the natural world and explores multiple plate monotype methods. Woodcut techniques, including laser cut blocks, are then added to layer transparent and opaque colors. Students make both editioned and unique prints, alternating between structure and improvisation. This back-and-forth serves as the format for the course, combining multiple matrices in many ways.
