Groundworks Art Lab

Have you always wanted to try printmaking, but didn't know where to start? This series of classes are ideal for those who have limited experience and want a taste of the varied and intricate art of printmaking. You can sign up for one or all 4 of these intro classes.

There will be an instructor demo and hands-on assistance each week. Students will try introductory techniques for each of the following: relief, monotype, and intaglio (in the future, screenprinting will also be included). This will include carving, mixing and rolling ink, and making a successful print.

Night 1: Collagraph - learn how to make a simple collagraph (intaglio) plate by cutting away at the board. Ink is pushed into the grooves to reveal the design, and then printed on the press.

Other Classes in Series:Week 2: Relief; Week 3: Monotype; Week 4: Drypoint

These courses provides a great way to get a real sense of the art of printmaking, and to identify which direction to go next! Come have some fun in our new printmaking studio!
