Etching Open Studio
with Jane Pagliarulo & Guest Etchers
A benefit for Print Arts Northwest.
Intaglio printmaking techniques work by incising into the surface of a plate, in this case copper, with tools or with acid. There are a myriad of possibilities for mark-making, and we will share some of the mysteries we’ve learned about copper while you learn at your own pace. Beginners are welcome, and seasoned etchers too! Class limit 8 students
Each class costs only $10.00. Initial supply fee $15.00 includes one 4 x 6 copper plate, 4 pieces of proofing paper, acids grounds and black and brown ink. Akua Kolor colored inks (water-soluble and non-toxic) also available. Other papers available at cost.
Please note: No classes for 6 weeks in late July and August! Check the weather forecast in January and February - no classes on snowy nights. When in doubt, call Jane at 503-729-9013.

The first evening class will focus on how photopolymer plates are used in letterpress printing, and the different ways they can be used, along with an introduction to setting type by hand; students will design a card partially during class (if you have a laptop, please bring it). Students will present their final card design at the second evening class, where we will set any type needed, and explore how simple techniques (stamping, hand-drawing, embossing) or techniques students may already be familiar with (relief/block printing, screenprinting, marbling) can be integrated into their projects, and discuss paper and other production choices. In the third and final class, we’ll spend the day printing and finishing our cards.

Monotype Using Stencils & Found Materials - Marcy Baker
Saturday Sept 11: 10am to 4pm
A benefit for Print Arts Northwest.
Marcy Baker has been creating monotypes for over fifteen years. Her process includes creating stencils, relief plates and printing blocks; and using these tools to build many thin layers of ink on the plexiglas plate before making one transfer with the press. After a print is pulled, Baker incorporates the ghost of that image into the following piece, creating lovely contrasts as the plate is reworked. She often incorporates chine collle’, a collage method by which thin absorbent papers are adhered to the monotype during transfer (view her paintings, prints and collages at www.marcybaker.com).
Some printmaking experience is helpful but not required. Class limit 9
Workshop fee of $110.00** plus $30 supply fee, includes plates, printing inks, and proof paper. Additional paper available at cost.
Monotype: The Painterly Print with Jane Pagliarulo
Tuesdays & Thursdays, October 19, 21, 26, 28
Jane will cover a wide range of techniques possible in the monotype process and continue through the use of collage, and multiple plate projects. Students will be encouraged to pursue their artistic vision using monotype as a mark making tool in combination with whatever other techniques are efficient and available. Modifying, layering, mixing inks, use and abuse of mark-making tools, exploring the limits of paper, collage, chine colle and built up surface will all be discussed. Working with drawing materials, integration of Solarplate, traditional intaglio plates, other matrices, and finishing prints as resolved and complete expressions, including solving issues after printing, are aspects of the workshop. Some monotype and/or other printmaking experience is helpful but not required. Class limit 9 students. Paper is available at cost.
Workshop fee: $160** plus $10.00 supply fee includes inks & modifiers.

Encaustic Collagraph Workshop with Elise Wagner and Jane Pagliarulo
Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday September 14-15-16: 10 to 4
Additional Workshop - Tues-Wedy-Thur November 9-10-11: 10 to 4
Additional Workshop - Saturday - Sunday December 4-5: 10 to 5
Combining monotype with encaustic’s textural elements is a process that explodes beyond the boundaries of printmaking! Matrices of wax are built onto plexiglass, then we apply water based inks, wipe free the excess ink, and run it through an intaglio press to be printed on paper. These techniques can produce subtle and mysterious marks, allowing for variable prints or editions. Mixing inks, modifying, rolling out a flat, use and abuse of mark- making tools will be explored, along with multiple plates and registration techniques. Collage and chine colle will be discussed, along with encaustic inlaying and incising techniques.
Day 1: Beginning Encaustic Painting workshop
Elise Wagner will cover the rudiments of encaustic methods & tools. We create an encaustic painting on panel, then onto a plexiglass plate to create textured collagaphs ready for color application and printing with Jane the next day.
Day 2: We use an etching press to produce collagraphs and monoprints from the encaustic plates. Some printmaking experience is helpful but not required. Minimum age level:12 with parent.
Participants are encouraged to bring any tools or brushes you like using. Bring textural elements, such as feathers, leaves, fabric like burlap and lace or string. Good printing paper is available for purchase.
(view her paintings at www.elisewagner.com). Class limit 6 students
$275** workshop fee for two-day workshop, $375. fee for 3-day workshop: includes 2 plexi plates, two sheets proofing paper, encaustic supplies, and printing inks.
