Experience a technique in printmaking that uses a textural collage-like surface, but can have the range and nuance of intaglio. Using matboard as a base plate, textures such as fabric, sandpaper, string and various papers are glued to the matboard and coated with acrylic polymer. Painterly textures can be created with modeling paste.
Explore trace monotype, which allows an artist to work with the specific vocabulary of drawing while making one-of-a-kind prints. Done most effectively on dry Asian paper (sometimes called “rice paper”), trace monotype can stand on its own or it can be used as the beginnings of collages or mixed media works. Trace monotype is portable and invites possibilities for plein air printmaking.
This workshop introduces students to the expressive process of soft ground etching on copper plates. Over the span of three guided 3-hour sessions, students will explore the unique textures and line qualities made possible through soft ground printmaking.
Over three days, participants will explore the craft of hand bookbinding from start to finish, creating a complete hardcover book to take home. Bookbinding is a valuable skill that integrates craft and design into archival practice, empowering you to share your work in the intimate and durable format of the book.
