Create and take home an edition of 6 carved, graphic relief prints! In this workshop, you’ll use a carving tool to carve a design into a soft, easy-to-cut block. Prints are created by adding ink to the block and pressing it onto a piece of paper– similar to a stamp! You can use the block again and again to end up with 6 identical prints!

Participants will use recyclable plastic plates, water washable oil based inks, water soluble crayons, and an etching press to make drypoint monoprints.

Participants will use water soluble materials to paint directly on a screen, then apply a transparent base to create unique monotypes.

Gelli printing is a form of monoprinting that uses a flexible, reusable plate, often called a Gelli plate, to create unique prints on paper or fabric. The process involves applying paint to the plate, adding textures and patterns with stencils or found objects, and then pressing paper or fabric onto the plate to transfer the design.

Participants will use water soluble materials to paint directly on a screen, then apply a transparent base to create unique monotypes.

Participants will create up to 6 unique prints.

In this workshop, participants will scratch a drawing onto an acrylic plate with a sharp needle. Burrs that result from the scratching trap and hold the ink after the plate is wiped clean. This creates a soft, heavy line that is unique to this type of intaglio. 

In this workshop, participants will use the drypoint printmaking technique to create holiday cards.

In this workshop, participants will build designs using Lego dots and baseplates. The image will be printed from inking the legos with water based ink. 

In this workshop, participants will carve away the areas they want to remain white on a soft, easy-to-cut block. The image will be printed from the raised surfaces left on the block after carving.

Water soluble monotypes are a form of printmaking that uses water-soluble crayons and watercolor paints.

In this Halloween themed workshop, participants will cut paper stencils and found objects to build an image.

Reduction relief printing is a method to achieve a multicolor print using one block.

Join our Lead Printer-in-Residence, Judy, in this playful printmaking workshop and create a portrait of your furry (or scaly, or feathery) friend!

Participants will carve a relief block and print it on different colored papers. After printing, participants will cut out sections of their print and collage them together to create a colorful, graphic work of art. 

In this workshop, participants will create textured printing plates using various materials, then ink and print them to produce rich, layered images. 

Participants will use textured materials and stencils placed behind the paper on a press to create layered, ghostly, and painterly images. 

In this workshop, participants will carve away the areas they want to remain white on a soft, easy-to-cut block. The image will be printed from the raised surfaces left on the block after carving. Relief printing is the oldest form of printmaking, and these prints are characterized by their bold contrast between light and dark areas.

In this workshop, a single block is carved and cut into separate pieces, inked individually, and reassembled for printing. This method allows for multi-color designs without the need for multiple blocks.

Participants will use water soluble materials to paint directly on a screen, then apply a transparent base to create unique monotypes.

Water soluble monotypes are a form of printmaking that uses water-soluble crayons and watercolor paints. Participants use these materials to paint and draw on a plexiglass plate. The paints are allowed to dry and are then printed on an etching press using damp paper. Wet paper reactivates the water-soluble materials and results in a vibrant impression. This form of monotype is the form of printing we offer that is closest to drawing and painting. 

Join us on May 17th for a family-friendly, garden-themed Free Ink Day!

Create a screen printed zine in this 5 hour weekend workshop!

Using a single plate, participants will create layered ,multi-color prints by strategically removing and re-inking areas of their design. 

Join us on March 8th for a family-friendly, LEGO-themed Free Ink Day!

In this workshop, participants will cut paper stencils and can use certain found objects to build an image. After inking the stencils and applying them to a plexiglass plate, it is run through an etching press to create a unique, one-of-a-kind print.

This free workshop will cover the basics of applying to artist opportunities such as residencies, open calls, and fellowships: looking for opportunities, developing personal criteria for which to apply to, tracking deadlines, organizing application materials, and - most crucially - navigating rejections and cultivating resilience to keep applying. Following a presentation, participants will be invited to discuss and share their own methods, experiences and questions.
