    Learn how to create a letterpress broadside - a sheet of paper printed on one side used historically in Europe.

    About this Class

    Using poetry or prose of your choosing, you will learn to set and space lead type, ornaments, and/or cuts to reproduce and illuminate your chosen words. With type set, we'll go over how to use the Challenge cylinder press, which is ideal for high-precision printing, as well as refinements to the type form. Once we've finished, you will trade prints so everyone goes home with an assortment of the class's work!

    This course covers all material necessary for letterpress certification on typesetting and using the Challenge Press. With a little practice in open studio after this course, you should be ready to take the certification test and demonstrate your capabilities to safely and effectively run a press unsupervised.

    Details

    • Bring a poem or piece of prose between 65 and 85 words.
    • Registration closes May 25.

    About this Class

    Linocut is a very accessible printmaking process - and SO much fun! Learn the fundamental methods so you can continue your creative explorations at home.

    Techniques taught in this workshop: 

    • Cutting techniques and mark-making on a sample block. 

    • How to create a design for your linocut print and transfer your image to the prepped linocut block (bring ideas, drawings, and reference materials for your design, or "cut to the chase" with some ready-to-transfer design suggestions).
    • Carving your block 

    • Inking it up

    • Printing your block, both by hand and on a press

    • Learn about and test different printmaking papers and other substrates. 

    We will be carving on unmounted battleship gray linoleum and "readycut" (softer) printing blocks.

    Project

    A 6" X 6" carved block and finished prints, and you'll get a list of materials and where you can find everything you need to continue your journey with linocut printing.

    Materials

    Bring some simple designs that you would like to use (six inches square or smaller), so we can spend our time carving and printing! We also will have some simple designs you can use or create a ‘"Notan" design (we will go over that process).

    Now that you have learned the basics of linocut, it’s time to hone your skills and try new techniques.

    About this Class

    Let’s have some FUN as we review and demonstrate new techniques. You can choose which ones you'd like to explore. Techniques include:

    Jigsaw printmaking: Uses one linoleum block to create multi-color prints by cutting the block into sections, inking each section individually, and then piecing them back together to run through the press.

    Multiblock printmaking: Uses more than one linoleum block to create multi-layer prints.

    Registration techniques: Learn how to make sure your blocks and paper line up perfectly! We'll talk about several techniques and use Ternes Burton™ pins for registration.

    Chine-Collé: Incorporates thin papers between the block and the paper to selectively include color and texture. Thin paper is adhered to the backing paper in printing.

    Selective inking techniques: Inking different colors on one block and rainbow rolls and gradients.

    Printing other substrates: T-shirts (bring a pre-washed T-shirt) and tea towels (provided), and printing on different papers.

    We will be carving on unmounted battleship gray linoleum printing blocks (and some E-Z-Cut). We will be printing on Somerset Satin paper with Cranfield Caligo Safe Wash inks (and some other papers for variety). We will be printing with two types of fabric ink.

    Details

    • Registration closes June 3.
    • A $35 materials fee, included in cost of the class, covers all materials except T-shirts. See "Materials" below for what students can bring.
    • Bring a lunch. BARN has a refrigerator and microwave on the lower level.

    Materials

    • Bring your pre-carved blocks. It's not mandatory but it would be fun to experiment with them.
    • Bring some simple designs you would like to use for this class.The blocks will be 8" x 10", so design to fit that size or smaller. Search some examples on keywords “jigsaw linocut,” “relief printing,” and “multi-block printing” for inspiration!
    • Bring a pre-washed T-shirt.

    Harvest and process your own pigments, then use them to capture the details and textures of the natural world!

    About this Class

    Have you ever wondered where ink, paint, and pigment comes from? You will learn the history and science of pigments, the natural materials and processes used since ancient times, and engage in your own experimentation and exploration of the possibilities in the natural world. Once pigments are made, you will use their pigments to create ink, select and bring in plants from your own environment, and use the ink to arrange creative and beautiful images of nature.

    Project

    Harvest, process, and make pigments from natural materials; add your pigments to a binder, roll that ink onto plexiglass monotype prints and samples of local plants, and print stunningly detailed impressions using ink you made yourself!

    Materials

    Bring to the second class: natural pigments; berries, plants, dirt, clay, coal, soft rocks, etc. (Crush objects between your fingers, or scrape them against rocks, to test whether they make good pigments. If they leave a colored residue, they're likely good to try!)
