Mixed Media Printmaking
Sep 13 - 24, 2021
9AM-5PM
Concept
Take an exploratory approach in this exciting printmaking workshop that introduces a variety of relief, intaglio and monotype techniques, each building on the last with an emphasis on experimentation. Students investigate uncommon methods along with traditional techniques, working in combination with stencils, color viscosity, layered prints and collage. Combining processes to create dynamic and rich composition and surface textures can facilitate the emerging of a rich new visual language. Our goal is to expand image vocabulary, build technical knowledge and maximize the possibilities with printmaking.
Media
Drypoint, relief, collagraph, monotype, laser-cut stencils, color viscosity, layered prints, collage

Gel Plate Printing and Collage
Holly Hughes
Tuition $1,155
Code D1120-22
This course introduces students to the joy and versatility of gel plate monotype, a low-tech, inventive, forgiving printing method that offers portability as well as kitchen-table convenience. Students make finished prints and experiment with imagery and motifs for other artistic practices such as ceramics and painting. The course also explores an invisible collage technique to combine works on paper into a larger format. Simple tools like brayers, rubber-tipped clay shapers, brushes and cut-paper stencils provide sophisticated results, build up layers and add complexity. Slow-drying paints produce vibrant color, texture and transparency with easy clean-up.

Layering Color and Light: Woodcut and Monoprint
Jean Gumpper
Tuition $1,050
Code R1110-22
This rigorous, engaging printmaking workshop focuses on monoprint and woodcut methods with an emphasis on layering color to produce luminous results. Students begin with observational studies from the natural world and then explore trace, stencil, painterly and multiple-plate monotype methods. Woodcut techniques are then added to layer transparent and opaque color to create a radiant sense of space. Participants make both editioned and unique prints, alternating between structure and improvisation. This back-and-forth serves as the format for the course as one combines printing using a woodcut matrix with a variety of monoprint methods.
