Printmaking

Make some cards for Earth Day! Pick from earth day collection lino blocks and print your own cards. 

 

In this class, you will learn to carve your own stamp from a linoleum block. We will play with printing/stamping them on paper. These stamps are also fun to use on clay. Come prepared with simple imagery, hand-drawn or digital, that you would like to work with. If you are looking for ideas, choose a design from a coloring book or use Pinterest for an image reference!

Come learn how to carve a mini rubber stamp from an eraser! There will be pre-carved stamps for you to play with as well. We will be stamping/decorating cards once we're done carving. You can use your own stamp in combination with others to create a fun design on your cards. 

 

Come learn about and enjoy this fun, loose style of screen printing! You will use stencils, screens, and ink cards to build up layers of color to create a fun abstract monoprint. You can go further with your completed monoprint to create cards or other paper objects.

 

In this class, you will be creating a reusable, long lasting, freeform screen that can be used with underglaze on your ceramic pieces (either on a form/vessel or on flat slabs). Your maximum image size will be 5 x 5 inches and you will have the choice to make up to two screens (i.e. two images/designs). You can create a single image or repeatable pattern so that your 5 x 5 inch-image can be used to create larger works.  Ideally we will play with a slab of clay and underglaze after our screens have been made.

Printmaking Instructional Open Studio is for those who have taken Intro to Screenprinting or Intro to Relief Printing, or are able to show they have adequate past experience in screenprinting or relief printing. The goal of our Instructional Open Studio is to provide a space for printmakers to continue using the methods and techniques they’ve learned in class to make prints with an instructor present to answer questions and provide help when needed. During the hours devoted to Instructional Open Studio, students may come in and work freely. This is not a led class. We hope to create an environment where students can experiment and get creative while having a community of support!
