Printmaking Class:
This course is an introduction to the basics of printmaking. Printmaking is one of the most historically significant and prolific forms of art, and with the right instruction, anyone can learn to multiple images from the same etching, carving or stencil. This class will focus on the intaglio (ink and etching and the relief (carved block) processes. Students will create a block/plate matrix based on an original drawing and will create a full edition of matching prints from that matrix. The result will be a series of images that are similar but never identical-because the beauty of printmaking is that, even though all prints come from the same matrix, there are countless variables in the process that ensure every image is a unique expression of the artist’s craft.
Fall Foliage Tree:
This beginner’s painting class focuses on a quaint tree surrounded by the vibrant colors of fall foliage. We will guide students as they use acrylics to transform each canvas into a peaceful tribute to autumn.
