Printmaking
Intro to Printmaking Methods for Teens II
This course for teens will focus on demonstrating various printmaking techniques and provide students with hands-on experience making collagraphs, relief prints and monotypes. Students will have an opportunity to explore with their new knowledge of printmaking by developing mixed media works using a combination of print methods and drawing media.
Creative Printmaking on Fabric
During this one day workshop, students will learn how to make fun, unique patterns on cotton scarves using everyday objects. We will learn a bit about screen print ink and how to use them. Then, we will stretch our minds to the possibility of patterns! Feathers, yarn, cups, and plants are only some of the unexpected items we will use to create these patterns. Students will leave with some beautiful fabric and a newfound appreciation for kitchen utensils.
In Studio Printmaking
Participants will work in Jeff Juhlin’s Salt Lake City Studio where he has a professional printmaking press which will be used to produce Monotypes often known as Monoprints . Monotypes are one of a kind prints commonly described as “Painterly Prints” because the printmaking process is less technical and more fluid than traditional etching, Intaglio and lithography processes. Ink or paint is applied directly to a plate and run through a printmaking press to transfer the image onto paper. Many unique and exciting effects are produced through this process. Participants will work with non-toxic water soluble soy based inks applied to Polycarbonate plates. Techniques covered include mixing ink, additive and subtractive methods, viscosity printing, The use of stencils including hand cut Mylar stencils, multiple plate printing, plate and paper registration methods and other techniques are used to create vibrant exciting one of a kind prints. Monotype prints can be stand alone works of art or used as collage materials in painting with encaustic, oil, acrylic and other mediums. We will be discussing how to produce monotypes in your own studio without having to have access to a printmaking press including the use of Barons, pin rollers and other alternatives. No experience necessary.
Monotype Printmaking
The monotype is a simple, direct printmaking process. The first time printmaker or the experienced one can produce lots of prints in this one day workshop. Using water based inks, plexi plates and a small etching press many applications can be tried and combined .Color mixing, reworking the ghost plate, multiple drops, washes, chine colle’, incorporating a matrix and much more will be covered.
Print, Paint, Repeat for Teens
Dive into the art of printmaking! Using wood blocks, teens will learn how to build surfaces onto the block to create images and prints. Teens will also learn about relief printmaking, where students carve into foam to make beautiful impressions. Some everyday objects can be used in printmaking, and Janice will show teens what can be used so they can try printmaking at home! Students will leave class with a series of prints after class.
