Drypoint printmaking is a fascinating intaglio technique where images are scratched into a plate with a hard-pointed needle or tool. The scratches create burrs (raised edges) that hold ink, making it easy to get started with printing your design.

There will be instruction and hands-on assistance each week. Students will learn about the techniques of printmaking, engage with tools and materials, and design and print a drypoint plate.

Drypoint printmaking combines meticulous technique with creative freedom, offering endless possibilities for unique and expressive artwork. Enjoy the process, and let your creativity flow!

Ages: 16+ 

All supplies and materials will be provided.

Print Adult Session 1 - Level II Color Theory: Making a Reduction Print (8-week)

$285

with Heather Kahn-Pyatt

Calendar Jan 7, 2025 at 5:30 pm, runs for 8 weeks

This unique class will provide an overview of the role of color in any visual medium, while using hands-on printmaking methods as a practical and expressive means for exploration. Students will gain an understanding of how we see, perceive, interpret and manipulate color as artists.

We'll practice color theory and concepts that cover the fundamentals of color theory. Participants will walk away with their exercises as reference to guide their own work.

Then we will put theory into practice! Each participant will create a multi-color reduction print edition. Starting with a plain linoleum block, you'll design, carve, print, and then repeat - on the same block - to create a unique print, applying the color theory concepts along the way.

This is a level 2 class, students should have some level of printmaking experience to participate.

Ages: 16+ 

All supplies and materials will be provided. 

Will be available to register on Monday, December 9th at 8:00am.
