2010 Workshop Programs
2010 Print Center Workshops and Registration Form
Etching
Learn how to prepare copper plates, apply grounds, etch, and ink.
Techniques covered include hard ground, aquatint, lift-ground and
spit-bite. Experienced workshop participants can create multiple
plate color etchings or develop independent projects.
Monotype
& Monoprint
Explore the many approaches to creating monotypes. Workshops address
the techniques of direct painting, roller and brayer work, layering,
chine collé, drypoint, acrylic medium aquatints, stencils
and transfers.
Photopolymer
Intaglio
Learn how plates are made. Experiment with exposing photographic
positives, drawing on transparent media, or creating digital images
on polymer plates developed in water. This non-toxic method is an
alternative to traditional photogravure and is used to fuse digital
print technology with traditional printing practices.
Collagraph
Combine intaglio printing methods with collage. Participants will
use materials such as cardboard, bark, acrylic media, and fabrics
to build images and textures on plates.
Digital
Printmaking
Create large format digital prints from photos, scans or other image
sources. Learn basic Photoshop tools to adjust images and output
them using an Epson Pro printer.
Portfolio
& Bookmaking
Explore basic book and folio making through folded and sewn structures
and book-binding techniques. Projects range from creating clothbound
presentation portfolios to artist books.
Drawing
for Printers
Explore various ways of drawing as it applies to the printmaking
process. With an emphasis on line and tone, participants will work
from various visual sources, including the still life, photographs,
and invented imagery. The workshop will cover naturalistic and expressive
drawing, as well as abstraction, using both additive and subtractive
techniques. Individual attention will be given to each student and
all will be encouraged to use the workshop to develop their own
projects. Students of all levels are encouraged to participate.
Relief
Printing
Print multiple colors on one plate and layer multiple drops. Participants
are introduced to using wood, linoleum and plexiglass for relief
printing methods.
Xerox
Matrix Planography
Experiment with this low-tech print process using a Xerox copy as
a one-time print matrix. Incorporate this technique with monotype
or produce an edition.
