About the class
What exactly is printmaking? We invite you into our print studio to experience a beginner’s journey into this incredible visual art form!
Join Kelly in this unique introduction to print through the world of monotype, relief, intaglio and stencil screenprinting. We’ve expanded this popular multi-session workshop to six consecutive Tuesday night sessions. Students will explore various techniques in this guided, hands-on evening class to create a portfolio of prints by the end of the sessions. They will gain a basic understanding of the four classic methods within the family of printmaking and be able to join our member’s studio to continue working on their own projects. This class is perfect for absolute beginners or even experienced artists who may need a refresher course in printmaking!
- Monotype – Create a single print on a flat matrix using ink and a variety of playful textures.
- Relief – Carve, ink and block print using a mini speedy carve block and a linocut tool.
- Intaglio – Draw, scratch and ink onto a surface to roll out a creative print using a small press.
- Stencil – Pull a silkscreen and learn to cut, transfer and push ink through a flat stencil to make a printed impression.
All materials will be provided. No prior printmaking experience is necessary.
Please note: This class requires some hand dexterity to maneuver the carving tool. Participants should feel comfortable using tools with sharp blades and edges.
