Color

(includes lab fee), 10:00am-4:00pm
Using oil-based colorants, students will create one of a
kind prints worked from plastic plates. Explore chine colle,
image transfers, multi-plate color registration and ghost
impressions. Try drawing with a brayer and/or spontaneous
solvent reticulation techniques. Numerous examples from
the instructor's collection will be shown. Printing inks,

Silk
Aquatint, a.k.a. Silk Collagraph
November 8, 2008, $260*
(includes lab fee), 10:00am- 4:00pm
Silk aquatint has the richness of mezzotint, the spontaneity
of action painting, the sheer washes of a water color, the
vivacious surface of a palette knife impasto and the durability
of a steel-faced etching plate ALL WITHOUT ACID. This collagraphic
plate-making method is created with acrylic paint: painting
white onto a black field, similar to developing a mezzotint
image. The resulting plates are intaglio printed through
an etching press with oil-based and water-based ink and
can last for over one-hundred impressions.
Fine

December 6, 2008, $260*
(includes lab fee), 10:00am-4:00pm
This intensive workshop is geared to de-mystify glues, tapes,
and mounting techniques. Learn to use the appropriate adhesive

and discover how to seam papers together to create oversized
pieces. You will be introduced to: chine colle (gluing &
printing simultaneously), seam-gluingpaper, hinging choices,
sampling a variety of glues and tapes, inserting cuttings,
and setting up a drying/flattening stack. Discussion includes
examination of archival life.
Paper
Lithography (Printing from XEROX™)
January 17 & 18, 2009, $260*
(includes lab fee), 10:00am-4:00pm
If you're interested in xerox transfer, this workshop is
an opportunity to explore the possibilities of the xerox
matrix print. This process utilizes photo copies to reproduce
the printed word, computer generated type and photo images
- as well as Xeroxes of drawings from your sketch book.
Simply stated, the Xerox becomes the printing plate. Each
photo copy is used only once. Samples from the instructor's
collection will be shown to better demonstrate the potential
of this method. No prior printing experience needed.
