Foiling Workshop
Foiling or Hotfoil is a lamination process that uses thin sheets of specialty foil and a heat-activated adhesive (copy toner or gloss acrylic medium are common adhesives in this process). The adhesive is printed and dried and the foil attached via heat and pressure. In this workshop attendees will learn how to effectively apply foil via screen printing as well as experiment with the foiling process via mixed-media. Attendees will create original images during the workshop and are also welcome to bring already created prints/proofs to add foil to.

Here’s his artist statement. Here’s his website, just in case you wanted to know a little bit more about Erik, http://erikwaterkotte.com.
…it is the state of being from which mythic space is best created: fluid and fluctuating, awkward and antagonistic… It represents an open realm of possibility in which violence and vulnerability, vision and destruction, desire and anguish coexist.
My work is an exploration of popular culture, myth, and fantasy as conveyed through printmaking and mixed media. I am continually drawn to ideas and events that blur the line between fantasy and reality. Utopias and dystopias, religious extremism, cults, alchemy and mysticism, are all fodder for my work. Juxtaposed and submerged in my prints and mixed media works are images from rock n’ roll films, heavy metal album covers, the Mormon Tabernacle, Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty, and ancient ruins. In his book The Philosophy of Magic, Arthur Versluis explains that “magic…is a reflection of eternal principles and as such must exist so long as there are cultures.” Using print media, collage, and digital applications, I create layered imagery that both elucidates and obscures. By overlapping and layering the imagery in my work fluctuates in-and-out of being. The interstitial processes of printmaking allow me to fabricate, reduce, and distort imagery in order to create temporal, ephemeral, and shifting works. I am interested in images that reference both beauty and terror, images that walk the line between representation and abstraction, form and formless.
