Innovative Approaches to Monotype
$258.00
Innovative Approaches to Monotype
Weekend workshop
August 18 & 19, 2018
In this special class, Mary will push you to experiment with many different monotype techniques! Monotypes are one-of-a-kind prints made by applying (and removing) inks with a paintbrush or a roller to a polymer plate and then printing the image onto paper. Additional layers can be created by applying another element to the plate and passing it through the press one or more times, resulting in rich, layered, complex prints. Inks can be wiped and scratched off, dotted on, applied or blocked with stencils and more. We invite the experienced and the inexperienced to join us in this creative, wild journey into the nearly infinite possibilities of monotypes…

Weekend workshop
Multiple Plate Gravure
This workshop provides an exciting opportunity to create beautiful limited edition prints using positive and negative plates, and multiple color plates. Utilizing Photoshop and printmaking you can turn an ordinary color photograph into an “out of this world” image. Gravure was introduced in the 1800’s as a way to reproduce photographic prints and is still used today. Prior knowledge of etching, photography and/or Photoshop is very helpful but not necessary.
This class is open to all, but it is recommended that students take the “Introduction to Gravure” class first.

Painterly Collagraphs
$161.81
Painterly Collagraphs
Two Sunday Afternoons, October 14 & 21, 2018
In this class you’ll discover methods for creating rich, expressive, painterly prints. By understanding how various acrylic gels and pastes will ink up, you’ll learn how to plan the “values” in your print. Unlike collagraphs created with mat board and collaged elements, this method produces a final plate that is very durable and that doesn’t require sealing.
We’ll also use Akua’s Carborundum Gel and fine carborundum grit – both of which can be used with stencils – and explore ways to make the results more expressive with random textural qualities and thin calligraphic lines. Both smooth and textured plates will be provided, allowing for more creative possibilities.
These painterly methods allow the printmaker to adapt the techniques to their own individual mark making, and doesn’t involve expensive materials to crimp your style!
Your instructor, Trish Meyer, is an experimental artist, printmaker and calligrapher with a background in graphic design. Visit her website at trishmeyer.com.

Cyanotypes for Beginners
$134.84
Cyanotypes for Beginners
The cyanotype process is a relatively easy, yet endlessly versatile photographic process. It can be used on a number of surfaces, including paper and fabric as well as glass and wood. The initial natural color is a beautiful deep blue, but through toning, the color can range to grays, browns and black. It can be used in combination with a wide range of other media. In this workshop, participants will learn the simple mixing of the chemical emulsion, explore various ways of making both photographic and non-photographic negatives, use some simple toners, and enjoy the process of exposing and developing their own images on paper and fabric. All participants will leave with enough emulsion to go home and make more cyanotypes on their own. No darkroom or special photographic experience is necessary!
