Studio 935 Classes

Printing Classes

Studio Update:
We have moved and recently once again begun to offer classes after a long hiatus. We have moved to a much larger studio on Milwaukee Avenue. We had to get rid of the Letterpress equipment last year unfortunatley but would still be interested in finding a few replacements.

We add equipment and capabilities as we can. If you have some art supplies or equipment lying around or know of somebody that would like to 'store' their equipment and let us use it please give us a call or drop us a line. We almost had a Washington style platen press but the shipping was too much for our budget. It would have been nice.

Home / Printing Classes / Workshops / 2009 Schedule
Open Print Studio Sundays 6-10 $35 for 4 hours or 180.00/mth.
	Informal work without instruction in any print medium. Paper and printing inks are not included. Please schedule times a few days in advance.


Beginning Printmaking TBA
	Students are given basic printmaking skills and set loose. Reduction Woodcuts, Linoleum Block prints, Mono Prints	Three color woodcut by Michelle Huliver
Intaglio Etching Wednesdays TBA
	Aquatints, sugarlifts, mutton tallow, shaker bag & lump rosin? Something from the Food Network? No. Intaglio etching techniques and some tricks of the trade.	Some drawing required but okay for beginners. The student uses various techniques to create textured areas that hold ink. When the plate is wiped before printing the areas with the most texture will have the darkest tone. By scraping, scratching and burnishing areas of the plate the image can be controlled.
Mixed Media Printmaking Saturdays TBA		This print was produced by Silkscreen, Linoleum Block, Hand Gilding (with 23 karat goldleaf) and Hand Watercoloring. The idea being that this print cannot be reproduced by a computer.
	Who says you have to have just one technique? Not for the beginner or the timid at heart. Must have a basic understanding of printing techniques and an open mind.

Collagraph Printing Sundays 2009 Schedule
	Great for up-tight printmakers and painters alike. Students develop collaged printing plates for a series of prints. Experimental and fun.	Collagraph plate using sand, gesso and glue on chip board. The smooth areas wipe clean. The areas with more texture hold more ink and will print in varing shades of grey or whatever color ink you choose.
Silkscreen Printing Tuesdays Thursdays & Saturdays 2009 Schedule
Includes 3 screens and inks. Multi-color registration and various stencil techniques.
