Art Educator Workshops

This week-long workshop for art educators will include demonstrations of intaglio, embossing, collagraph, and monotype printmaking techniques.

Produce your own prints in MCAD's beautiful and expansive printmaking studio and spend a week of your own studio time on technical investigation and personal exploration. Learn intaglio processes on copper plates, including drypoint and etching; experiment with embossing, chine colle, and collagraph printing; and discover the monotype process, including how to print by hand and with a press. A general overview will also include: Paper preparation, inks, registration techniques, how to incorporate basic digital printing with printmaking, different types of inexpensive printing presses, and gadgets that you can bring back to your classroom. This workshop will also include optional time for informal small group sessions for art educators who teach the similar subject or age groups to discuss lesson plans. / Non-toxic, waterbased inks will be used. / A complete list of suggested materials will be discussed during the first class meeting.
