Intro to Letterpress
Class size limited to 4 students- don't miss this chance! It is time for another round of introduction to letterpress printing! In this workshop students will print an edition of 15 custom stationery cards on Remarque’s C&P platen press. In this special small class, everyone will set and print their own type and learn to set up and run the press. Each student will be provided with pre-cut paper and envelopes for their stationery cards . We will start with the press already set up and ready to print a solid block of color from a linoleum block. Students will be introduced to the press and take turns using the press to print on one side of their cards, which will be laid out on the rack to dry. We will talk about metal type, and students will set type from two predetermined drawers. Students will set and center one line of type (a name or short phrase). Instructor will demonstrate how to put type in a chase, providing a map for which furniture students should use. Students will take turns locking up their type, moving the chase to the press, and printing their text. When finished printing, students will have the opportunity to trim the bleed from their cards. Date: 12:00 - 4:00 October 21 Cost: $100 + tax -- includes inks, materials Instructor: Katerina Hazell https://www.katerinahazell.com/art |
Sintra Plate Intaglio & Relief
with Guest Instructor Yoshi Nakagawa FIRST TIME OFFERING AT REMARQUE! In this two-day workshop with visiting Tacoma based artist, Yoshi Nakagawa, you will explore the possibilities of printing with Sintra plates, a PVC board that is very versatile. You can carve these plates with wood or linoleum tools and/or incise them with drypoint tools, resulting in a plate that can be printed as relief or intaglio depending on the inking and wiping techniques. Relief printing with a brayer makes the negative image of the drawing, intaglio the positive. Wiping the plate in the intaglio process leaves a soft plate tone, where you can create more shading effects. We'll learn to print with an etching press, your final images on rag paper. All levels of experience welcome for this special class! Date: October 21 & 22, 2023 Class time: 10 AM – 5 PM with a lunch break Cost: $260 + tax, all materials included, participants may purchase extra paper Instructor: Yoshi Nakagawa |
Textures, Layers and Transparencies: Collagraph and Monotype
The collagraph is a wonderfully affordable printmaking technique- all you need is mat board, textured items and glue to create fabulous textured prints. In this workshop participants will learn how to make collagraphs that can be printed immediately (no sealant, so no drying time!) and how to ink them using transparency and viscosity techniques. We will print our plates with dry paper on the press and add elements of monotype and stencils to create richly layered, textured, one-of-a-kind prints. We will work fairly small so much experimentation can occur! No experience necessary! Class Date: Saturday, November 4 Class time: 10:00 AM- 5:00 PM (1 hour lunch) Instructor: Jessica Krichels Class Fee: $130.00 + tax Price includes all materials |
