Tuition: Sliding Scale, $350-$1200
Lab fee: $100
Class limit: 6
Each morning, Shelley will begin the workshop with a series of demonstrations including printing and color usage. She will cover stencils, a la poupée, chine collé, viscosity, multiple plates, relief, collage, and digital media. Using participants’ current work and ideas as a catalyst, Shelley will work with everyone individually to discover what aspects are vital to their work and how to successfully explore and expand their visions.
This workshop allows participants to incorporate new ways of working into their artistic practice. Shelley will organize this period to further examine participants’ work and mindset. She will cover material specific to each participant, while also encouraging a further understanding of etching. Artists will learn how to seamlessly incorporate hand work such as drypoint and mezzotint on various substrates; editioned monoprint; paper and polyester photo litho; hand-worked and photo based collagraphs; photocopy transfer; handmade rubber stamp patterning for chine collé; and registration systems that are best suited to individual needs. Shelley will also address possible considerations for content, scale, series, multiplicity, format, paper choice, and available matrices.

Artist
Shelley Thorstensen
Shelley Thorstensen is a Pennsylvania-based printmaker. Her work is a duet between intangible and tactile, a physical representation of consciousness: a duality of body and mind, physical and mental, heart and soul. Her prints reflect personal narrative and the interplay between manmade and natural forms. She investigates color and form independently, allowing either to dominate until the piece is complete. Her art is held in major collections, including the Royal Museum of Art (Antwerp), MoMA (New York), and Woodmere Art Museum. She is represented by Dolan/Maxwell.
