THIS CLASS HAS FILLED FOR APRIL, 2022.
Organization: South Salt Lake City Arts Council
Teaching Artist: Stefanie Dykes, Saltgrass Printmakers
Workshop Location: Saltgrass Printmakers, 412 South 700 West, #110, Salt Lake City, Utah 84104
Class Description: Natural History meets Personal History – a six week course exploring collagraph printmaking
Collagraph prints can be created from materials found in your kitchen junk drawer, hardware store or during a walk in your neighborhood. Students in this course will use various techniques to build up textured surfaces with common materials. We will be exploring form, texture and composition as well as developing a conceptual approach to our prints. Stefanie Dykes will introduce the idea of ‘Lifecores’ as a self-reflective process that will help us diagram our lived experience or personal landscapes. We will translate our collected ‘data’ to create the collagraph prints. This approach is a kind of quasi-scientific method to creating an image. This process is inventive and inspiring! The workshop is geared for beginning students, but experienced artists can join us as well.
Workshop is limited to eight participants.
Dates and Location: This six-week course will meet Saturdays at Saltgrass Printmakers, 412 South 700 West, #110, Salt Lake City Utah, 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm.
