Description:

Printmaking by nature is a replicative media. Printmaking is any process which uses a matrix to create an image that is then inked and transferred to another substrate either by hand or with the aid of a printing press. Images can be created and then printed as a unique work, multiples, or a variation through a range of printmaking processes. A rich array of pictorial results can be produced by mark-making, carving, scratching, rubbing, drawing, and painting on metal, stone or wood. Technologies introduced in this class will be monotype, relief, intaglio, chine-collé, lithography, and book arts. Over the course of the class you will become familiar with a variety of tools and processes to successfully create a number of printed editions in each of the techniques mentioned as well as a familiarity with the equipment and safety processes of the print studio that will allow you to work successfully in any shared studio. Sessions will focus on the processes and include guest seminars, demonstrations, critiques, and individual work time.
