VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Innovative Woodcut Methods: blocks, jigsaws and the laser cutter
Jan 12 - 29, 2021
Every Tuesday, Thursday & Friday, 1-4PM MST
Concept
Broaden your relief printmaking skills to include fun and innovative methods with laser cutters. This exciting virtual workshop examines how laser-cut blocks can expand the possibilities of a playful and multilayered approach to making hand-pulled prints. We 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. Individual files are laser etched at Anderson Ranch and mailed back to students to print with by hand. Everyone leaves the workshop with files, blocks, finished prints, and ideas of how to integrate technology into their printmaking practices.
This three week workshop will use Zoom Video Conferencing software (download free from Zoom.com) to facilitate the class sessions. An Anderson Ranch staff member will coordinate the online platform. Further details will be emailed to registrants.

We design and print our own t-shirts, posters, and original works on paper using a variety of screen printing techniques, including multiple-color registration and split fountain printing. Students become young screen printing experts and learn how to make screen prints at home, as well as create a series of prints for a developing portfolio.

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.
