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.

Art Through Time!
Hannah Baker
Tuition $600
Code K0101-26
Pack your bags—we’re going on an art adventure through history! Each day, young artists travel to a different time and place to discover how people have made art for thousands of years. We start by painting cave-style murals like early humans, then try our hands at clay tablets inspired by ancient Mesopotamia. We design pottery like the Greeks and Romans, decorate fancy letters like medieval artists, and make bright “stained-glass” collages that glow with color. Moving forward in time, we splash paint like the Impressionists, create bold pop art, and dream up what art might look like in the future! By the end of the week, every child has created a “time capsule” of their own amazing creations—celebrating creativity from the past, present, and beyond!
