Printmaking: Relief Carving with Intuitive Patterns

Utilizing traditional techniques of carving, we will be working with linoleum to put a contemporary twist on a classic medium of printmaking. Within this class, you will reflect on line, shape, pattern, and repetition to begin to understand layering in relief. Relief traditionally began in Japan with prints like the "Great Wave". Students will take traditional pattern elements and build on printmaking's ability to develop layers to create a series of one-of-a-kind prints. What you will learn can be carried on and done even at your own home after the 6-week class is done!

Printmaking: Intro to Etching

Etching is an intaglio printmaking process, where an image is incised onto a plate, then inked and printed on a press. This 4-week class seeks to demystify etching by teaching a method that’s as simple as drawing: drypoint etching. No expensive metal plates, no acid baths! Just an etching needle, a plexiglass plate, and you. We will learn what intaglio is, the difference between traditional acid etching and drypoint, and how to ink and print an image. We will be using nontoxic etching ink, plexiglass/pvc plates, and light washi papers to learn the chine collé method of adding color.
