August Workshops

MONOPRINTING

Learn the basics of printmaking to create images with ink, paper, copper and an etching press. No two prints are ever alike. You will learn several printmaking techniques through this course: mixing inks, drawing with inks, operation of the press, and understanding how inks transfer to paper. There are no rules- monoprinting is about experimentation with new materials. This is a great course for someone who has never done printmaking.

SCREEN PRINTING

Learn how to turn any image into a fine art print. Silkscreen is a versatile print media that is easy to learn. Using water based inks we will teach you how to turn a drawn or digital image into print. The great thing about silkscreen is that you can print on paper or fabric. Use your image to make cards, print on bags or t-shirts.
