Casino is an exhibition of recent collages by 2022-2023 Kahn Family Fellow, Erin Miller. Drawing inspiration from sites of entertainment like casinos, honky-tonks, and arcades, these works on paper combine dizzying patterns to question notions of chance and control.
Learn the art and craft of hand-binding in this introductory class. We'll discuss the fascinating evolution of the physical book, study the properties of paper and materials used in bookmaking, and practice crafting a series of useful and beautiful book structures. The structures will include: the Pamphlet Stitch, Accordion Fold. All levels of experience are welcome.
This workshop is a fun family printmaking class. We will be painting stenciled mylar plates with water-based inks to create subtle and intricate monotype prints. This process allows you to paint quickly onto the mylar plates, then transfer the ink to dampened paper using an etching press. You will learn about ghost images, which can achieve wonderful effects with immediate results. This technique is completely non-toxic and the fee covers participation for 1 parent and elementary school age child.
Learn the basic techniques of making color reduction relief prints using MDF (medium density fiberboard)! We will focus on registration, mixing inks, and editioning a final print. No prior experience necessary. Students will go home with a print and the knowledge of how to do it again.
The Ink Shop Printmaking Center is excited to announce our Annual Fellowship Grant for printmakers and book artists.
