Woodcut and Monoprint with Digital Applications
Jul 1 - 5, 2024
9AM - 5PM
Concept
This rigorous, engaging printmaking workshop combines monoprint and woodcut processes with a digital component. Students incorporate laser-cut stencils and wood blocks with painterly and carved marks to create images. The class begins with observational studies from the natural world and explores multiple plate monotype methods. Woodcut techniques, including laser cut blocks, are then added to layer transparent and opaque colors. Students make both editioned and unique prints, alternating between structure and improvisation. This back-and-forth serves as the format for the course, combining multiple matrices in many ways.
Media
Trace, stencil, additive, and reductive monotype, transferring images, Adobe Illustrator, cutting stencils and blocks with laser cutter, carving, color ink mixing, printing oil-based inks using a press and by hand, pochoir techniques using gouache registration techniques, chiné collé, editioning and unique prints
