Cross-pollinate: Blending Printmaking Techniques
Sep 5 - 9, 2022
9AM-5PM
Concept
Delve into an extensive range of printmaking techniques, exploring the hybrid print. Students incorporate basic intaglio techniques, gum transfers and chine collé. The results are dynamic, multilayered prints that allow for the best of each technique to be celebrated. Students work with both hand-generated and photographic imagery and embrace technical exploration and experimentation. The workshop introduces each technique as a single process procedure, then investigates ways to combine the methods to discover which print qualities are emboldened when combined in a single image. Students produce works that reflect a synthesis of process, layering, composition and ideas.
Media
Students are introduced to basic intaglio/etching techniques, gum transfer printing, and chine collé. A combination of hand-drawn, graphic and photographic imagery is utilized. We also assess how to incorporate various papers and materials together using the chine collé process.
