Printmaking

Focus on the botanical world as your print surface and subject! Explore color, layering, and creating stencils, and use oil-based inks and an etching press to transfer the designs. Everyone will leave the class with a number of monotype prints which are a one of a kind image.  Important note regarding materials preparation prior to class: participants should select leaves, ferns, flowers, grasses, and barks that have interesting shapes and textures. Place your findings between the pages of a newsprint pad to press to flatten them a bit and pull out excess moisture about 24 hours before the class. The tuition for this class includes a materials fee of $20 for basic materials provided by CAW. School Policies Students who withdraw 48 hours prior to the first class are eligible for a refund or credit toward another class, less a $25 registration fee.

It’s printmaking in reverse! Instead of adding imagery to a surface, use bleach to subtract color. By stamping, painting, and dipping, students will create images and patterns on fabrics. In addition, students will create stencils, use found objects, and experiment with adding colors back into bleached areas. Weather permitting, we’ll go outside to speed the drying of our printed pieces. The tuition for this class includes a materials fee of $20 for basic materials provided by CAW.
