NEW CLASS!

Learn to make expressive prints by building a printing plate that is like a collage or relief, then learn how to ink the collagraph plate and how to print it using a printing press.  A collagraph printing plate is made with mixed materials, modeling paste, natural elements, or various thicknesses of boards or fabrics to build a layered picture that can be of anything- figurative to abstract.  This printmaking method is versatile and also allows for experimentation with thick or translucent ink applications for a range of graphic, textural, color, and tonal effects.  It’s a great method for experimenting and playing around with materials and process! A fee for basic materials is included in tuition. This class is for adults and mature teenagers of all skill levels and includes 2 hours a week of open studio time.
