Experimental Monoprint with Laser Cutters
Lari Gibbons
Tuition $1,150
Code R1211-23
In this fun, experimental workshop, students explore a playful approach to making layered, hand-pulled monoprints. We learn various ways to bring technology into our art-making practice, using the laser cutter as a flexible tool throughout the process. We discover how to turn drawings into laser-cut paper stencils, which we then use both in the printing process and as collage elements. We conclude by cutting our plexi plates into jigsaw-style pieces for more printing options. Our goals are to increase skills, exchange ideas, and expand our creative practices.

Experimental Etching: CNC and Intaglio Printmaking
Lari Gibbons
Tuition $1,050
Code R0807-22
Broaden your intaglio printmaking skills to include innovative uses of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) routers and other tools in the Ranch Digital Fabrication Lab. This experimental workshop explores use of CNC routers to scribe and engrave plates, expanding the possibilities of a playful approach to making hand-pulled prints. Students move fluidly between digital and analog processes, exploring and learning how each can inform our printmaking process and contribute to a flexible, evolving practice of art making. Participants leave the workshop with prints and ideas of how to integrate technology into existing practices. Low-toxicity printmaking approaches and materials are emphasized.
