Winter Classes 2014

Welcome to the Winter Session. This fall we were printers-we rubbed, rolled, squished, carved, cut and drew. Printing is all about making or finding something to print from- a leaf, a found object, a styrofoam sheet, a piece of rubberlike material, a collograph. We find or make the ‘block’ or ‘plate’, ink it up and transfer the image to paper. To be interesting it has to have a texture, some parts have to be higher than others. We played with the idea of structures that have two planes- one that the ink goes on and one that the ink misses. A plate can be made by digging or carving the low plane (styro prints, speedy cut) or building up the high plane (collographs)

This winter we’ll be builders- collage, assemblage and sculpture. We’ll glue, tape, attach, wrap and wire.
