This workshop guides students to create a 3D piece of art using a variety of materials. The artwork fits inside a provided 10x10 2in. shadow box frame. Many different kinds of materials are provided, and students can bring their own items to personalize their art. i.e.; photos or memorabilia. Decorative and vintage papers, magazine images, and a variety of 3D objects are included. We will discuss composition, color themes and layering of items. Students are encouraged to assemble 3D items to create depth and dimension. Students leave with a framed piece of art. Very often a story develops around the art.

Please bring a lunch.

To kick off the Basic Print Sampler series, this workshop will focus on Relief Printing. Get a taste of the relief process by learning to carve into Sintra, an easy to carve matrix made of PVC. Explore a few carving techniques, learn about non-toxic soy-based inks, and print a small edition of your design. This one-day workshop allows you to experience the relief process and perhaps will inspire you to continue your printmaking experience in a Basic Relief Printmaking class

The second iteration of the Basic Print Sampler series, this workshop introduces the technique of Dry Point Etching. Traditionally this technique is done in copper, but we will use commonly found materials such as Mylar for the matrix. Explore a variety of tools like needles, safety pins, scratch art tools, and sandpaper to create your etching. In keeping with non-toxic practices, you will gain experience using watercolor crayon as ink. This process will allow you to create full color images and will provide you with the skills to continue creating prints at home without a press!

No experience necessary. Even if you say you can't draw.... you can trace images.
