Beginner Printmaking: Your gateway to a new (ancient) art form

This class will give students the fundamentals of printmaking, with the goal of making the art form accessible to all, even those who do not think of themselves as “artists.” We would work on monotype (both trace and traditional) and linocut. Half of the sessions would be devoted to monotype and half to linocut, giving students an introduction to printmaking techniques, the time to build their skills and confidence, and the opportunity to get creative and play with these processes. This class would be heavily guided, while encouraging individuality of each student.

This class will teach Citra Solv print transfer technique to create unique pieces that encourage experimentation and creativity. Students will have the option to use found images (either digital to be printed or magazine/newspaper clippings) and/or their own digital images to be printed and transferred. Students can either create a digital collage and transfer the completed image onto the paper, or can use smaller images/clippings to create the collage in real time on the paper. Each method will create a unique print that relates to the students’ chosen project theme. This technique is fundamentally imperfect and unpredictable, encouraging exploration over perfection.

All materials provided. Open to all skill levels.
