Announcement from the Team at Remarque:
In the face of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, we have decided that it is in the best interest of our community's health and well-being to close Remarque Print Workshop temporarily.
- We are closed for the remaining weeks of April.
- Classes scheduled for March & April will be postponed and we will reschedule them when conditions warrant.
- We are currently keeping May classes open, but we will re-evaluate if we need to postpone them as well by the end of April.
- There will be no opening reception on April 3rd, but the exhibit will be on display online
- Members will retain full access to the printshop.
This is a challenging time for everyone, including small arts organizations. We ask for patience from everyone involved while we try to find the best way forward in these difficult circumstances.
Thanks,
The Team at Remarque: Lincoln, Mary, Jessica K. and Jessica W.

Foundations of Photo-Polymer Printmaking
POSTPONED
Learn about the subtle and beautiful art of photo-polymer printmaking. Using modern materials this process is a direct descendent of traditional photo-gravure! Students will learn how to print their images onto transparencies, which are then transferred via ultra-violet exposure to a photo-sensitive polymer plate. This plate is then inked and printed, resulting in a unique, and somewhat ethereal print.

The Magic of Chine Collé
POSTPONED
Chine collé is the process of mounting a thin sheet of paper onto a backing sheet during printing, to achieve a more desirable printing surface, a shift in tone, or for mounting purposes. Students will gain insight into the chine collé process by working with delicate Asian papers through demonstrations & individual work with the instructor. Students will learn how to use the wheat paste adhesive, various application methods, basic collage techniques, proper dampening & misting techniques, and plate & press preparation.
