Supply fee and tuition or part one of four payment plan installments due to register.
This eight-week course will teach the essentials to printmaking from
copper plates, a medium rooted in five hundred years of history. The
first week will familiarize students with the press as they create
monotypes from pattern rich still life arrangements. The second and
third week will cover techniques for dry point with monotype
applications, and weeks four through eight will concentrate on the
etching process. Historical contexts with artists ranging from
Rembrandt and Goya to Whistler and Hopper will complement class time.
Still life materials will be available each week, although students are
invited to bring objects of their own liking, or work from existing
drawings and photographs. It is also recommended that students save
time for some drawing work at home throughout the workshop’s duration.
The printmaking studio will be available for extended work one hour
after each two-hour class. This workshop will use a floor model
American French Tool Etching Press: plate bed 24” x 48”, and print shop
equipped with a ferric chloride acid bath, asphaltum station, aquatint
chamber, and heated inking station.
