Printing on Alternative Surfaces with Camilla Taylor - Visiting Artist |
|||
Sat and Sun, Oct 15, 16, 2011 Class fee: $125.00 includes materials. A two day workshop, Alternative Surfaces will explore printmaking sans paper. Students will learn how to print on fabrics, natural materials, and synthetic plastics. Bleach printing and embossing velvet, potato relief prints on cotton, screenprinting on autumn leaves, and relief printing on plastics will be taught over the two day time period. Students will go home with a three dimensional print made from the methods taught on the first day, in addition to individual prints made throughout the class. Camilla Taylor grew up in Provo, UT, and attended the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, studying for a BFA with an emphasis in printmaking. She received her MFA from California State University Long Beach, also with an emphasis in printmaking, in 2011. In 2010, she received the Southern Graphics Council Graduate Student fellowship. Taylor often works three dimensionally with her prints, creating large, free-standing figures out of relief and screen printed surfaces.

Screen Printing |
|||
Saturdays: August 6, 13, 20, & 27, 2011 The technique of screenprinting evolved out of Chinese and Japanese stencil printing. A fine mesh or screen is stretched over a frame to hold the stencil design. A stencil may be created in several ways. We will be employing a photographic process to expose positive imagery to emulsion coated screens for printing. Ink is then pushed through the screen with the dragging motion of squeegee.

Mixed Media Printmaking with |
|||
Hugh Merrill is a nationally recognized printmaker, art educator, and community art advocate from the Kansas City Art Institute (KCAI). He'll be in town in September for a great two-day workshop! Dates: Saturday and Sunday, September 27,28 2008 This workshop is for interdisciplinary artists and printmakers eager to investigate new opportunities for using images as multiples in their studio narratives. We will use a number of digital and printmaking processes to capture or appropriate images that will then be altered through draw/print methods and reproduction. These hybrid draw/print works will then become the resource for digital and analogue explorations. Sequence, variation, change, editing, construction and deconstruction are basic approaches to working with multiple sets of images. We will use screen printing, transfer, digital, Xerox copier multiple, collage and mono print techniques Hugh Merrill is an artist, educator, and writer. His artwork has been exhibited internationally and his work has been collected by major Museums such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Harvard Art Museums, the Cranbrook Museum, the Minneapolis Museum of Art, and the Nelson Atkins Museum among others. His articles on the redefinition of art, printmaking and education have been published internationally and have had a seminal effect on the dialogue to change educational processes across the country.

Mezzotint and Chine Colle Workshop |
|||
Dates: Demo Thursday June 26 2008 6:00-9:00pm *PLEASE NOTE* Creating a mezzotint plate properly can take a long time, therefore students should understand that the workshop will be exploratory in nature and not necessarily result in finished works. This short 1 and1/2 day course will focus on both mezzotint techniques and basic and advanced chine colle methods. Participants will develop intaglio plates using a combination of basic etching techniques in combination with mezzotint and/or construct plates using only mezzotint. Once image development is underway and initial proofs have been taken, participants will then be introduced to a variety of chine colle techniques to refine and resolve their images. Throughout the course technical developments will be discussed in the context of individuals aesthetic and conceptual concerns. Participants will also be encouraged to discuss ideas and content in a group context so as to encourage conceptual development alongside technical explorations. *supplies included; |

Drypoint Lithography |
|||
Dates: August 13, 14, 15, 2007 (M,T,W) Bill Hosterman is a visiting artist from Michigan where he is a professor at Grand Valley State College. During a Fulbright scholarship to study printmaking in South Africa, Master Printer Mark Attwood of The Artists' Press introduced Bill to a new printmaking process that can best be described as drypoint lithography. The process is a hybrid of intaglio and lithography and is done on metal lithographic plates. The result is an image with the line quality of a drypoint and the richness of value akin to a mezzotint, and it can be consistently editioned. While the basic method is straightforward, knowledge of hand lithography is helpful. After applying tinted gum Arabic to a metal lithographic plate, an image may be created by scratching through the coating. A mixture of alcohol and shellac is then buffed onto the plate. Finally, the image is prepared and rolled up using a leather roller. Drypoint lithography may be used exclusively to create an image, or it may be combined with other metal plate lithography techniques. This is a lithographic process that can be printed on an etching press!! Class size will be held to eight printmakers. Bill has demonstrated this technique at the IMPACT4 Conference in Berlin and at the last MAPC conference at Athens, Ohio. This is an extraordinary chance to add a new technique to our printmaking arsenals!! Below are examples of drypoint lithography. You can find out more about Bill on his web site at www.gvsu.edu/art/hoster.html

Master Class with Erik Waterkotte |

He'll be in residence for two weeks printing at the shop, and will be teaching this master class towards the beginning of his stay. Erik will be demonstrating both conventional and collage applications of chine-colle as a way to develop innovative, mixed media approaches in print that utilize layering and color. 'Chine' or Japanese papers can be employed as a way to layer and veil images, textures, and surfaces. The class will include monotype and editionable printimaking approaches using a variety of papers. Students are encouraged to bring plates that have been previously developed to include in printing and chine colle application. Erik will demonstrate techniques using frottage and trace monotype. This process allows for a broader exploration of printmaking. Here are some of Erik's images. You can see more at his web site www.ErikWaterkotte.com |

Press and Peel Etching with Chad Tolley |

These images are transferred to the plate using plastic press and peel film which is used as the resist for the etching process. Very cool stuff!
