About
the Printmaking Workshop. We still have several seats available. This
is a great opportunity for both beginners and those who have had some
experience with Solarplate.
At Open Press, instructor Mark Lunning will
teach us to use Solarplate, a simple approach and safer alternative to
traditional etching and relief printing. The first class begins on Tuesday
September 6th from 1-5 pm, second class is September 13th 1-5 pm, third class
is September 20th 1-5 pm, and the last class is September 27th from 1-5 pm. This
workshop is open to both beginners and those who have experience with
solarplates but want to learn more advanced techniques. Bring a piece of art
you have and like and make an original print!
All material will be provided; everyone will
have two 4” x 5” and one 8” x 10” solarplates and three 22” x 30” sheets of
100% cotton printing paper; cost is $300.00. The maximum number of participants
is 8, so please act quickly to secure a spot. If you are interested please
contact Vanessa Martin at martin.vanessa655@gmail.com to sign up.
