Faculty
Lindsey Yeager
Studio Coordinator, Paint and Printmaking
Fueled by a need to find closure in a deteriorating world, Wisconsin-born Lindsey Yeager paints and illustrates connections between society and nature, between human and animal, translating and reframing human contexts into fearful, raw, and feral allegories. Lindsey received a BFA in New Studio Practice and Illustration from Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design in 2021 and she went on to win two Society of Illustrators awards and participate in the 2021-22 cycle of Plum Blossom Initiative’s Bridge Work residency. Her work has been shown at Var Gallery, Mana Contemporary, Soft Times Gallery, Museum of Wisconsin Art, and Society of Illustrators, among others. Lindsey is represented by Var Gallery in Milwaukee.

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.

Water-Washed Mokuhanga & Stencil
Keiko Hara
Tuition $1,345
Code R1110-25
In this multifaceted printmaking workshop, students discover that the water-washed mokuhanga and stencil printing processes on washi paper have the exciting possibility of expanding the surface and dimensional quality of image making. In the mokuhanga printing process, the water-washed pigments on the carved woodblock are pressed down into the washi paper. The water-washed pigments are applied to the washi paper directly through the stencil, which prints the raised surface. Students learn this process including carving and hand printing to create and experience the result: a beautiful, multilayered, and luminous print.
