Remarque Print Workshop & Gallery invites printmakers from around the nation to enter our first-ever Print Exchange!
This is an excellent opportunity to showcase your work, and to explore (and own!) prints from artists across the nation. Each participating artist will send in an edition of eleven hand-pulled original prints. In return, we will send each participant ten original prints by other artists, randomly selected by us. We will retain one print from every edition we receive, to be exhibited in our gallery and placed for sale. The profits from these sales will benefit our new Educational Scholarship Fund, which aims to encourage engagement in printmaking and the arts by providing free access to printmaking classes for students in high school and college. Registration Deadline: December 15, 2020 (please note registration will cap at 200 participants, which may occur before this deadline - first come first served!) Artwork Submission Deadline: February 5, 2021 Print Exchange Gallery Exhibit: March 5-26, 2020 |
|
Upcoming Classes:
Classes capped at 5 participants. See our "Workshops" page for a full list of COVID-19 precautions.
Introduction to Photopolymer PrintmakingThis versatile technique is perfect for photographers interested in expanding their options for photographic expression. The wonderfully-easy-to-use photosensitive (photopolymer) plates allow artists to create a distinct, handmade look to their photographic prints. Participants will learn to manipulate their images on Photoshop, how to expose them onto the photosensitive plates and finally, techniques for inking and printing rich and detailed images.
Date & Class Size: Due to the limitations posed by the Covid Pandemic, this class is being offered as a tutorial. Contact the shop to schedule a time. Cost: $240 + tax Instructor: Lincoln Draper |
Homemade Holiday Cards Linocut WorkshopGet your creative juices flowing and make your own holiday cards this year! Everyone knows a hand-printed, original card made with love is the best gift! In this one-day class, participants will learn the basics of relief printmaking, carving out images from small linoleum pieces. Linocuts lend themselves to striking, graphic images that can be printed in a variety of colors. No experience is necessary- this will be a fun, exciting class for all levels. Experienced printmakers with a desire to get into the studio are welcome as well!
Date: December 5th, 10am-5pm with a lunch break Cost: $120 + tax Instructor: Holland Hardie REGISTRATION CLOSED |
Upcoming Workshop:
Find the "Ghost" in Ghost Prints
|
This one-day workshop will focus on ghost prints (a second, lighter print from an initial image) made from monoprints. Participants will learn how to create a monoprint, print it, and then use the remaining "ghost" image on the plate to create a new print. This method can create areas of ethereal midtones alongside very dark blacks and bright whites - the result is a delicate but striking image with a ghostly air.
This class is limited to 5 participants. The class will take place in our large, well-ventilated studio space and masks will be required. For a full list of our COVID precautions see our Workshops page. Date: Saturday, October 17, 10:00am - 5:00pm (with a lunch break - tables provided outside) Instructor: Mary Sundstrom |

What's in a Mark: an Exhibition of Prints Based on Mark-Making
September 4th - 30th, 2020
|
|
This exhibition brings together eight artists whose work share a common thread -- the expressive act of mark making. Each artist has created original hand-pulled prints using personal ‘signatures’ consisting of lines, dots, patterns, and textures in depicting their subject matter. The artists have chosen to approach their work through either playful exploration, methodical repetition, or a combination of both. The resulting images range from the spontaneous and intuitive, to controlled and precise marks on paper. They are intriguing records of intense interaction and aesthetic manipulation with the varied tools and processes of dry point etching, monotype, gravure, encaustic monoprint, and mixed media.
This exhibition features artwork by Krista Barrett, Christine Herman, Chuck Lathrop, Suzanne Marshall, Trish Meyer, Mary Sundstrom-Gramer, Dan Welden, and Pamela Wesolek. Join us for What's in A Mark? Virtual Reception & Artists' Talk! When: Sep 23, 2020 04:00 PM Mountain Time (US and Canada) |

Carol Felley - Rhythm of Resiliency
March 1st - March 29th, 2019
Agony & Relief (detail) |
Portal |
Death Rhythm 1 (detail) |
The artwork in "Rhythm of Resiliency" encourages us to step out of our usual frame of reference into a visual contemplation of the pairing of despair and joy within the grieving process. This collection of prints reveals images from Carol's inner realm using rhythmic marks, archetypal imagery, and colors and shapes that engage us through our senses. Complex landscapes of ostomy bags, part of her brother's medical treatments, transform to a simple urn, a metaphorical container for her loving relationship that is about to end. Totems adorned with images of bones and floral embellishments turn upwards towards the heavens and eventually become mourning dresses embellished with elements that represent her outward expression of grief.
New Mexico: Living Relief |

This show also follows the relief exhibition at the Albuquerque Museum last year -- "The Carved Line: Block Printmaking in New Mexico" -- which was organized in part by Santa Fe printmaker Scott Parker, who is having a solo show in the main gallery. Albuquerque and Santa Fe artists featured include Henry Morales, Mary Sweet, Jan Vanderburg, Mike Kimball, and Karsten Creightney.

Scott W. Parker: 10 years in New Mexico, Linoleum block prints
“Scott W. Parker: 10 years in New Mexico, Linoleum block prints”: This exhibition features a collection of compelling and lyrical multi plate relief prints by Santa Fe artist, Scott W Parker. Parker endeavors to consciously use imagination and skill in the production of aesthetic objects using the medias of painting, drawing and linoleum block printing. The series of actions, decisions or operations culminating in the work of a visible hand made representation after solving problems and difficult situations is what has kept Scott Parker entertained and making images for decades.

Introduction to Copper Etching
August 12 & 13
This basic, introductory workshop provides students with all the information they need to create a rich line etching and aquatint using non-toxic methods. Etching is a marvelous technique for those who love to draw to take their art to a new level. Students will learn to prepare their plates, coat them with hardground, etch and print them. We will learn to use aquatint to create luscious grays similar to those seen in Goya’s etchings. This process was originated in the 16th century and was made famous by artists such as Rembrandt and Turner. This workshop is open to those who are just beginning or those who want to learn non-toxic methods of etching.
Class dates: August 12 & 13
Class time: 10 AM – 5 PM, includes lunch break
Class fee: $240+ tax, includes 6 x 4.5″ copper plate, 1 sheet of paper, and most printing materials
Instructor: Pam Wesolek
