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.

Every artist has a different trajectory, but there are many common struggles and questions along the way, several of which form the content of this course designed to inform, energize, and empower.

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.
