Using a variety of techniques, students will learn to compose and produce multicolored, multilayered monotype prints. We will begin by inking plexiglass plates to produce color flats, patterns, shapes and textures to which we will add other imagery, abstract layers, stenciled shapes or impressions of found materials depending on each student’s artistic goals.

Over the course of the class it will be possible to produce a number of finished artworks or just to learn how to use and combine various processes including drypoint etching and linoleum or Speedy-Cut block relief prints. Consider bringing some materials for inspiration such as photographs, sketches, or ideas that you would like to work from or explore.

Ages: 16+

All supplies and materials will be provided.

Will be available to register on Monday, February 2 at 8:00am.

Come spark your creativity in our Teen Welding class! Join other teens for four weeks to learn the basics of shop safety and terminology, and an introduction to MIG welding equipment and how to properly and safely use it. Through hands-on demonstration, you'll gain confidence in this expansive practice - either to use it in artmaking, or possibly even as a future career track!

This class has no prerequisites and is specifically set up for absolute beginners to this art form. Our Metal Studio does have some safety basics before anyone is allowed to join in the fun (failure to meet these requirements will result in not being granted access to the equipment):

  • Please come dressed in close-toe shoes, and natural material clothing, i.e. cotton or linen, long pants are required.
  • For welding, a long sleeved cotton shirt is recommended that fully covers your chest. We have long sleeve over-shirts in the studio. Please be aware that sparks can damage clothing.
  • A bandana or tight cap is advised. If you have long hair, please have it securely tied back from your face.
  • No loose or dangling jewelry, long earrings or scarves.
  • We will provide safety goggles and other PPE, but if you have your own and would like to bring them, please do!
