2013 - Time and Space
This class will explore methods of image development based on each individual student’s interests and the stage of their development, and will result in the production of a series of related prints. Participants will be challenged to extend themselves both conceptually and technically, and to experiment with possibilities of combining digital images with traditional hand printing techniques. Various techniques in printmaking (Druckgrafik) will be explored. Using a press, copper plates, and plastic plates, students will work with drypoint (Kaltnadel) and/or relief, printed on a variety of fine Asian papers and cotton rag papers. Final images and compositions may be created through chine collé (a collage method) onto heavier, larger sheets of cotton rag paper. Depending on individual direction, the work may be representational, abstract, and/or narrative.
