Mokuhanga Wood Cuts with Drypoints with Bryn Harding
Dates TBA: 10 am - 4 pm - $405
East Meets West: Combining two traditional printmaking techniques that developed in different parts of the world can bring out new strengths in old mediums and fundamentally change the way you understand printmaking. Japanese Woodblock printing, or Moku Hanga, is a centuries old technique known for producing beautiful, luscious colors, and visible wood grain. Drypoint is an etching technique used to create images with marks ranging from silvery, whispery grays to dark velvety black lines. This workshop will provide students with tools, tips and techniques for creatively merging these two, rich traditions into prints that have all the beautiful colors and vibrancy of Moku Hanga prints and the precise, delicate lines and tones of Drypoint. This fun, 4-day workshop moves fast. We will learn how to print drypoints on Japanese Washi Papers, use traditional Japanese techniques to register images to woodblocks for carving, review traditional Moku Hanga hand-printing techniques and drypoint printing techniques, and learn how to easily and consistently register these unique prints.
Important Note: Finishing this project in four days will require workshops to have each day’s project before the next class session. Students should know that, depending on the size and complexity of their image, some time working on their project may be necessary to finish the project before the workshop is over. Skill Level: Intermediate/Advanced. Prerequisites: No one needs to be an expert etcher or woodblock printer to have a great time and complete a great print in this workshop, but students should be understand the basic fundamentals of relief printmaking (linocuts, woodcuts, moku hanga, etc.) and etching. Workshop Fee $375** plus $30 for supplies. A supply list will be sent by email when you sign up for the workshop.

Reduction Linoleum Block Printing with Elisabeth Walden
Dates TBD: 4 Thursday Evenings: 6pm to 9pm- $210
Already know you like relief printing, but want to expand your skills and explore color? Try reduction block printing in this 4-week workshop. Reduction printing is a relief printmaking technique where you print successive layers of color from single linoleum block, carving away a little more of the image with each layer, to create a richly colored final image both cheaply and efficiently. Reduction printing can be a technical challenge, as you have to break down a complex color image into a discrete number of color "steps", each one both smaller in area and darker than the last. Then each layer must be printed with attention to the viscosity and transparency of the ink as well as registration. This workshop helpfully breaks down each step over the course of the month, giving participants plenty of time to plan and execute their prints, as well as allow each layer of color to dry between sessions. The instructor will provide individual feedback and assistance as participating artists plan, carve and print their edition. By the end of the workshop, everyone will have produced a small edition of at least 3 colors, and learned the skills to create even more complex and richly colored prints. Intermediate. Workshop Fee $180** plus $30 materials fee

Painterly Etching with Elisabeth Walden
Dates TBD - Saturday/Sunday: 10am - 5pm
Intaglio printing and etching in particular is generally considered close kin to drawing, as the techniques most often associated with it historically (namely engraving, drypoint and hard ground etching) all emphasize linework as the primary means of creating the image. However, there are a range of techniques available to intaglio printers and etchers that emphasize more painterly concerns, particularly tone, texture and color. This 2-day workshop will be a crash course in all of these techniques for the intermediate intaglio printmaker. On the first day the instructor will demonstrate how to create tonal effects with rosin aquatints, including step-biting with stop out, spit bites, as well as the use of white and soft grounds to create a variety of textures and patterns. Then participants will experiment with these techniques, taking their plate through a series of proofs as they develop their imagery. One the second day the instructor will demonstrate a variety of color printing techniques, which participants can then apply to the plates they created the previous day, ending the workshop with a few painterly prints and a ton more etching skills. Skill Level: Intermediate. Workshop Fee $210** plus materials fee (?)

Strappo with Bob Surette
Dates TBD - 2 days - $110
Strappo is a combination of painting and printmaking. Using acrylic paints, the image is applied with brushes onto a clear glass plate.

Waterless Planographic Vitreography with Mark Mahaffey
Dates TBA, Fri-Sat-Sun: 10 am - 4 pm
Come to the Ink & Drink in advance of this Workshop on Friday, January 6th, 6-9 pm. Ink & Drink is Free! Vitreography is another word for printing from glass plates. This technique was pioneered by Harvey K. Littleton, who is often referred to as the “father of studio glass”. We will show a short video on glass blowing at Littleton Studios, and a 30 minute video about printing from glass called Luminous Impressions, Vitreographs. There will be some examples of both prints and plates available, and time for questions about the upcoming workshop.

Vitreography is a fine art printmaking technique that uses a 3⁄8-inch-thick (9.5 mm) float glass matrix instead of the traditional matrices of metal, wood or stone. A print created using the technique is called a vitreograph. Unlike a monotype, in which ink is painted onto a smooth glass plate and transferred to paper to produce a unique work, the vitreograph technique involves fixing the imagery in, or on, the glass plate. This allows the production of an edition of prints.

In addition to being relatively inexpensive, glass is chemically inert. It does not oxidize, so yellows and whites will not turn green or gray. Intaglio vitreographs also have an advantage over metal in that the glass plate wipes cleanly in non-image areas, allowing bright white to coincide with black that is velvety as a mezzotint. The plates can also withstand the pressure of the printing press with no discernible breakdown of the imagery, so no steel facing is necessary. $350 workshop fee, plus $30 for the Plate and $10 for ink , glass, masonite and solvents and newsprint. Printmaking papers available for purchase.

Dates TBA
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 We start at Elise Wagner’s studio, where she will cover the rudiments of encaustic methods & tools. We create an encaustic painting with white wax on a plexiglass plate to create textured collagaphs ready for color application and printing with Jane at Atelier Meridian the next day.
Day 2: Printing collagraphs and monoprints Going just down the street with Jane to her studio at Atelier Meridian, we take it to a whole new level to produce monotypes from our encaustic plates. We will apply water based inks, painting or rolling them onto the plates, then print them using an etching press. The possible combinations of encaustic texture and printmaking are endless!

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 composition of the following piece, creating lovely contrasts as the plate is reworked with some areas left untouched. She often incorporates chine colle’, 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 monotype and/or other printmaking experience is helpful but not required. Bring materials you’ve made, such as stencils and templates, and found materials such as fresh leaves, embossed papers, corrugated cardboard - things that will create interesting marks, texture and pattern.

Collagraph: Creating Prints from Collage with Jane Pagliarulo
Date TBA - 2 days: 9am to 1pm
Using materials like Silk, carborundum, paper and acrylic mediums, the artist builds matrices by creating textures on a flat plate. The surface is inked, wiped free of excess ink, and run through an intaglio press to be printed on paper. These techniques produce more subtle and mysterious marks than the typical “paper and string” collagraphs you have seen before! Combining the collagraph with monotype will expand the possibilities. 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, as well as issues regarding the flattening of the finished print. Some printmaking experience is helpful but not required. Class limit 8 students.

Gut Document / Strategies for Observational Monotype with Gabriel Liston
A series of Workshops on Wednesday mornings - Date TBA
An ongoing workshop series for the creation of print imagery based on direct observation. Given the vast availability of digitally reproduced and photo-based images, it is unnecessary for any artist to draw and paint from observation. Freed from the responsibility of showing the rest of the world what it looks like, artists can now document only those aspects of the visual world that are worth taking in through the eyes and stomach and pushing back out again by the hand. Which is, possibly, everything.
But it can be broken-down into bite-sized categories. Gut Document is an attempt to open up different observational situations as source material for printmaking. All workshops will begin with drawing in sketchbooks or directly on the back of plexi-glass plates. We then bring these plates into the print shop to ink and print with a variety of monotype approaches. The printed images can then stand on their own; or be used as compositional templates for relief prints, etchings, or oil paintings (or more monotypes); or be torn down into collage material. Participants should dress for the outdoors, as most workshops begin there.

Gut Document: Vanport with Gabriel Liston
