Portraits in Printmaking
Aug 8 - 12, 2022
9AM-3PM
Concept
Discover the many phases of printmaking in this portraiture workshop where students learn different printmaking techniques and their processes. Students test the limits of mono-printing, challenge negative and positive space in soft linoleum relief carvings and experiment with different printing methods. Participants also hone in on our drawing skills throughout this workshop. Students end the week with a handmade artist book with a collection of their prints, using their new bookmaking and printmaking skills.
Faculty
Hannah Sutton Stoll
Hannah Stoll is an artist based at SAW Studio for Arts and Works in Carbondale, CO. She works primarily in oil painting, making forays into printmaking and multimedia. Portraiture, human spaces, and natural beauty are her most frequent subjects. In 2020, Stoll received a BA in Organismal Biology and Ecology from Colorado College and moved to the Roaring Fork Valley shortly thereafter. She continues to use concepts and inspiration from her scientific study in her artwork. Patterns found in nature, whether visual or ecological, fascinate her in how they complement and inform the human condition. Stoll’s work returns again and again to these themes and to the unprecedented contemporary ways we feel about our world and ourselves. She has exhibited work in Denver and at several local galleries and art centers.
