Eclectic Alchemy: Photography & Etching as Gateways to Interpretation and Transformation - September 13th - 15th
$382.96
Instructor: Lihie Talmor
Winner of the 5th Annual International Print Exhibition
Three-day Workshop
http://www.talmorlihie.com/
Class Date: Friday, Saturday & Sunday September 13th - 15th
Class Time: 10am - 5pm, includes lunch break
Class fee: $355.00 + tax
Tap into the creative synergy unleashed by these two powerful forms of intaglio! Push your work into new levels of conceptual clarity and technical expression. The creative edge of contemporary printmaking is emerging from the combination of different traditions of printmaking. Step into the current!
This is a special chance to work with guest teacher Lihie Talmor. Talmor is an Israeli artist who divides her time between Israel and Venezuela and has shown her bold, thought-provoking work throughout the world. This comprehensive three-day workshop, open to artists of all experience levels, will explore how a printed image can shift from the photographic to the graphic mode and what can be gained from their combination. By working with two plates—the first etched from the projection of a photograph and the second made through traditional etching techniques, we will create a composite image that brings together photography’s power to record and etching’s power to invent. Participants should bring a digital file of a photographic image with which they wish to work. Knowledge of copper-plate etching techniques is useful, but not necessary.

Malleable Monotype with Sarah Smelser - September 7th and 8th
$258.90
Monotype is an exceptionally accessible and immediate medium that can accommodate the aesthetic of any artist. It can be a vehicle to work out ideas, generate a large body of finished works, or create the ingredients of a work to be compiled and combined with collage, painting or drawing.
This workshop will introduce monotype as a painterly medium, a hard-edged, exacting medium, and a draftsperson's medium. Participating artists will work with brushes, stencils, and various drawing implements. We will print on the intaglio press and by hand, learn about color and ink modification, use stencils and ghost printing, explore trace monotype, and print on both Asian and Western paper.
Participating artists are welcome to bring existing plates to generate monoprints and work spontaneously on Plexiglas. Beginners and experienced printmakers are welcome and are encouraged to bring source material/sketches to use as a springboard. Class schedule allows for demonstration, discussion, trouble-shooting and work time.
Sarah is based in Bloomington IL, where she is co-founder of Manneken Press with husband Master Printer Jonathan Higgins. Manneken Press is a fine art print publishing venture, currently thriving in Bloomington, IL, working with artists from around the world

Introduction to Printmaking Series
$118.66 - $409.93
Intro to Printmaking Series. Sign up for one, two, three, or four classes!
This series of classes offers an overview of printmaking in its various forms. It offers to beginning printmakers and any curious artist a sampling of some of the most common printmaking techniques. Instructors will offer a succinct and complete introduction to each process in a totally hands-on workshop. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! This is a great opportunity for artists in other areas to try their hand at this fabulous versatile art form.
Take one class, or two, or all 4 in the series! Beware! once you get a taste of printmaking you may well get hooked.
Intro to Monotype, September 28, 10 - 4 with a lunch break
- Monotype is a great way for painters to expand their repertoire and get immersed in printmaking. Monotypes are one of a kind prints made by applying (and removing) inks with a paintbrush or a roller to a plate and then printing the image onto paper. Additional layers can be created by applying other elements to the plate and passing it through the press one or more times, resulting in rich, layered, complex prints.
Intro to Drypoint Etching, October 19, 10 - 4 with a lunch break
- This class is perfect for illustrators and people who love to draw who want to learn about printmaking. Drypoint is an acid-free, non-toxic intaglio technique that's been around since the 1400s, and it's still going strong. Images are incised into a plate using a sharp or hard-tipped tool, like an etching needle, creating lines and raised burrs that capture ink for printing. The plate is inked up like a traditional etching plate, and printed on a printing press, resulting in a beautiful, rich, image with bold lines.
Intro to Relief Linocuts, November 9, 10 - 4 with a lunch break
- Explore ways of creating striking images with this simple yet powerful print medium process. Carving images into linoleum with attention to line and texture and then inking up the plate with color produces graphic effects. This class will explore the diverse range of ways which artists use this direct process, very similar to stamping. (No previous experience required)
Intro to Collagraph, December 7, 10 - 4 with a lunch break
- In this introductory class we will explore the many possibilities of the collagraph print. Collagraphs are beautiful, often experimental prints made from collaging textured items onto a matboard or similar surface, then sealing it and applying inks to print it onto paper.
New Grounds was one of the first completely non-toxic professional print workshops in the world. In business for more than 20 years, it is an internationally recognized institution dedicated to providing artists with press access, classes, exhibition opportunities and other printmaking related services.
IMPORTANT NEWS: Our retail business hours have changed. We are now open Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, 10 am - 6 pm, and also by appointment (please provide one day's notice via email--we'd love to meet with you!). |
