You will learn about direct stencil methods, inks and modifiers, photo-silkscreen techniques and will be introduced to monoprinting. Silkscreen is quick and is ideally suited to multi-colour printing. An image is drawn onto the surface of finely ground limestone and is then etched and printed. For beginners or experienced printmakers the course will allow you to explore the potentials of this tremendously versatile medium. Discover the secrets of Rembrandt's etchings, created by printing ink filled lines and textures which have been etched into the surface of a metal plate.
Etching is a beautifully subtle and rich printmaking process.
The intaglio process of aquatint developed by Goya will also be explored in this course. On Monday evenings we are offering 3 hour sessions for students with some printmaking experience to develop their own artwork and ideas at Open Studio with a technician available in the shop for technical support. This program is designed as a transition for students from classes to renting at Open Studio. Kelley A fun and intensive drypoint and water-based monoprinting workshop. This workshop includes a full day on Centre Island interpreting the beauty of the natural landscape directly using drypoint.
