Possibilities With Paper: Drawing, Printmaking and Collage
Aug 15 - 19, 2022
9AM - 5PM
Concept
This mixed-media workshop, open to students of all levels, experiments with works on paper, develops perceptive drawing skills and explores various media combinations. This workshop also introduces students to safe, non-toxic methods in printmaking to combine with drawing that don’t require a press and that can be applied outside of the studio. Participants use familiar materials in unconventional ways to find unexpected results and foster new ideas.
Media
Multiple traditional and alternative methods in both drawing and printmaking such as frottage, image transfer, mediums, alternative drawing media, staining and altering the paper surface, pushing the boundaries of materials
