Get out of your comfort zone and discover new ways of working in this week-long experimental workshop. Using everyday disposable packaging as our matrix, we will develop a series of intaglio and relief prints that document your daily routine, a new kind of diary.
We’ll create various collagraph matrices, including drypoint, paper collagraph, carborundum aquatint, silk aquatint, and Tetra Pack. Combining these matrices with the monoprint process, you will create colorful, shaped prints.
No previous experience required, but enthusiasm and an open mind are a must.
This workshop is currently in the week-long members-only registration period. Registration will open to the public on February 4th.
