Workshop Schedule:
COVID19 UPDATE: We have begun scheduling several new workshops, with new guidelines - our instructors are all local, there will be no more than 5 students per class, and we will not be accepting out-of-state enrollments unless the attendee can quarantine for 2 weeks prior to attending the workshop. We are also offering pop-up classes, which are designed for families or groups of friends - that way you aren't taking the class with anyone you don't know. Masks are required, ventilation is increased, and all surfaces are disinfected with isopropyl alcohol before and after each class.
To all of those who were enrolled in postponed workshops from this spring - we have not forgotten you! Many of our instructors and students were from out of state, and for now rescheduling these classes is not feasible. We hope to reschedule them in Spring of 2021, and will send out emails to those enrolled when rescheduling becomes possible.

Find the "Ghost" in Ghost Prints
In this one-day workshop we will focus on the 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.
Date: October 17, 10am - 5pm with lunch break Cost: $120 + tax Instructor: Mary Sundstrom |
Introduction to Photopolymer Printmaking
This 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: November 14-15, 10am - 5pm with lunch break Cost: $240 + tax Instructor: Lincoln Draper |
Homemade Holiday Card Linocut Workshop
Get 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 |

Fusions: an Intensive Immersion Printmaking Experience
with Ron Pokrasso
Class dates: Postponed to Spring 2021
Class fee: $875 + tax
Ron Pokrasso’s approach to monotype in combination with chine collé/collage and photopolymer platemaking will open your eyes and working process to a whole new range of possibilities.
Using Akua non-toxic products Pokrasso will demonstrate numerous methods to working with inks and tools. A section on photopolymer plate making includes the preparation of your transparencies and concepts in how to best integrate repeatable imagery into unique compositions. He will guide you through registration methods to be able to use multiple plates with perfection. Using dry paper you will enjoy the immediacy of reworking the surface and the ease in coming back days later to works in progress.
You will learn how to think in layers, where many options become available in one or more impressions. While you have a monotype plate in the works you may decide to incorporate a background plate and perhaps a chine collé element or a photopolymer plate. With so many surfaces, your options will become endless and the mixing and matching of imagery will have the potential to move you into exciting new directions.
This workshop is an overview of many of the different short classes presented at Remarque but with Pokrasso’s unique approaches interspersed with art making philosophies and combined into one intensive, enriching, eco-friendly week long art immersion.
This workshop is suitable to all levels of experience.
