Art Educator Workshop: Printmaking Exploration (in person)

This week-long workshop for art educators includes demonstrations of pressure prints, pochoir, relief printing, and several monotype printmaking techniques. Learn drypoint intaglio on plexiglass plates; experiment with embossing, chine-collé, and experimental plate printing; and discover the monotype process, including how to print by hand and with a press. A general overview also includes: paper preparation; inks; registration techniques; different types of inexpensive printing presses; and gadgets that teachers can add to their classroom toolkits. This workshop includes optional time for informal small group sessions for art educators who teach similar subjects or age groups to share lesson plans. / Non-toxic, water-based inks will be used. / This class has a one-hour lunch break each day. / Graduate credit is available. / We strongly encourage you to contact us and confirm your workshop has met minimum enrollment to run before making any travel arrangements.
