Printmaking for Classroom Teachers
Saturday, 9/25/2010, 12:00 - 4:00 P.M. (1 class)
Members: $54 | Non-Members: $60 | Studio Fee: $20
Instructor: Kathleen Loomis

Printmaking doesn't have to be limited to the art classroom! In this professional development workshop, teachers will learn how to make beautiful monoprints with children without the use of a press. Work with every day classroom items, like finger paints, in primary colors to make prints with intense color mixtures and vibrant hues. Learn to create relief prints on cardboard and string and found objects. Printed in layers, teachers will learn how to register prints and make multiples. The group will then assume the role of a student, and present their work to the class. Special Education Instructor Kathleen Loomis will offer rationale for each activity and help teachers determine how these activities fulfill state requirements, as well as requirements needed for NYS Teacher's certification.

This is a two credit course. Special registration polices apply; please call 273-0552.  This is an introduction to two forms of printmaking, monoprint and collograph. Monoprints are one-of-a-kind prints that are made through a process similar to painting. Collographs are made by creating a highly textured collage and then using a press to imprint the texture onto the paper. You'll learn to make single and multiple images, explore the use of color, and the possibilities of layering opaque and transparent images. The printing processes of relief and lithography will also be discussed in relation to the techniques learned in this class. This course involves the use of hand tools requiring fine motor coordination.


Embossing Workshop
Sunday, 10/17/2010, 12:00 - 4:00 P.M. (1 class)
Members: $54 | Non-Members: $60 | Studio Fee: $20
Instructor: Kathleen Loomis

Embossing is the process of creating a three-dimensional image or design in paper and other materials. This workshop explores the versatile and simple technique of embossing paper. You will learn how to use the printing press and fine paper to create pieces of fine art, greeting cards, and everything in between!


Trace Monotype Workshop
Saturday, 10/23/2010, 12:00 - 5:00 P.M. (1 class)
Members: $68 | Non-Members: $75 | Studio Fee: $25
Instructor: Sunghee Park

This class is for anyone who is interested in making a playful and intimate image by using a tracing process. Whether you are a monotype enthusiast or a person who is trying monotype for the first time, you may find it both exciting and challenging. Trace monotype is a direct-drawing printmaking technique. The pressure of the drawing tool picks up a line of ink on the paper as the pen bears down. This very simple method of transferring ink through the touch of a tool to the surface of the paper offers many expressive possibilities. Subtle, immediate mark-making is the pleasure of this printing technique. In this workshop, we will work with Akua-Kolor intaglio ink, mylar, tracing paper, and printmaking papers. You will also learn different transfer techniques and how to make a registration system, which allows multiple color drawings, with or without a press.


Carborundum Printing Workshop
Saturday, 11/6/2010, 12:00 - 5:00 P.M. (1 class)
Members: $68 | Non-Members: $75 | Studio Fee: $25
Instructor: Sunghee Park

Carborundum Printing is a collagraph technique and is known for creating painterly prints in printmaking. In this process, carborundum grits (sandy textured abrasive) are mixed with acrylic ink and are brushed onto a plate to produce rich tonal areas and prominent textures. This relatively new process was developed in the UK during the 1930s, fostered by artist Howard Hodgkin. The workshop will include a thorough demonstration, creation of plates and blotting techniques.
