DIY Printmaking
Explore methods of printmaking which do not require a press and can easily be done at home! Students will learn the basic principles of relief with EZcutting & Linocutting, Monotyping using plexi, as well as experiments with photocopy transfer processes. The class will demonstrate these techniques, and allow students the chance to practice, and make multiples of their imagery. At the end of class, students will leave with a collection of new art.
This class is geared toward beginners. No prior knowledge of printmaking is necessary.
Please bring 5-10 photocopies of images you want to use in class. Note: they MUST BE PHOTOCOPIES, just computer printouts will not work for the transferring process. Images should be simple and small, around 4" x 5" and in black and white. We'll provide you with your own personal tool kit, ink and some printmaking paper, but you should bring any other material you might want to print on. The possibilities are endless!
