Anita has a talent for making any mixed media process accessible and this class continues the fun from her first printmaking class (which isn’t a prerequisite). Learn drypoint, collagraph and much more! No press required! – Carla
Self-Study with Forever Access
Hi. I’m Anita!
Three of the things I love about printmaking are the “ah-ha” moment of surprise, the unique look of a print and the way you can make multiple versions of a design. Printmaking is so fun, easy and accessible… and in this class—the second in my Creative Printmaking series— we will discover dry point etching and collagraph. And all by HAND (no printing press required!).
With drypoint, we will explore delicate and beautiful LINE by etching into plexiglass plates with either hand tools or a dremel. This physical process of etching the plates is surprisingly addictive and fun, and we will create several prints atop our colorful monotyped bases.
Then we will work with TEXTURE & SHAPE and make collographs! This mixed-media process lets us investigate shape, color and reinforce our design concepts and work on multiple prints.
Finally, we have our arsenal of 6-10 dryprint and collograph prints, we will then assess each and finish the works with pastel, ink and collage. Practicing the subtractive and additive process will give us never ending discoveries.
Printmaking is trial and error in the very best way, with so many happy surprises… please join us for round two where we roll, wipe, scribe, dab + design!
