Explore Printmaking Techniques

You are invited to experiment with basic printmaking techniques offering freedom of expression and surprising results. All materials will be supplied in the four classes as we focus on various processes and enjoy the creative results.

Class 1.   Letter forms and found objects will be used to stamp print onto a large piece of paper which will serve as a portfolio for all the prints you create during the course.

Class 2.  We will use a variety of surfaces and the process of rubbing to create a self-portrait image.

Class 3.  Stencils will be cut from card stock, and you will stencil a design using paint and stencil brushes.

Class 4.  Monoprinting is a process of painting on a piece of plexiglass, laying your paper on top, rubbing and lifting to produce a print. Numerous prints can be made from the same plate.

Learn about these printmaking processes.  Experiment and discover the excitement of printmaking and enjoy working in a class with others to see the varied results that can be achieved.
