Printing Classes



Studio Update:
We have just aquired a 10 x 15 Chandler & Price Letterpress (1893) and a Standing Screw Press (used for book binding and relief printing). We will offer classes utilizing these beautiful presses in March. Kathleen Judge has allowed us to "store" her C&P Pilot press (it's the little one on the table pictured below). It will also be getting some use here in the coming months. Thanks Kathleen!

The new larger drying rack has been in place for the past two months and is a great addition to the studio. We have recently acquired a new 4 color Silkscreen Press donated from Chris Serna, one of our first workshop students, who went on to start his own screen printing business. The donation is much appreciated and will be put to good use. Thanks Chris!

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

  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.

   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.

  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.
