Printmaking with Ephemera

The fundamental printmaking techniques of monotype, relief printing, stencilling and embossing will be explored in this 5 week course with the use of ephemera that is meaningful to each student. Students are invited to bring botanical matter, letters, images, and other items that they would like to incorporate into their work. Each class begins with a 5-10 minute guided mindful check-in to connect to the space and each other in preparation for work in class. Learn the basics of the ancient medium of printmaking for the first time, or hone your existing skills and knowledge, as you are encouraged to develop your own unique expression. Best practices will be covered as students are introduced to working in the shared space of the JAC Printmaking Studio. All experience levels are welcome. More advanced students will be guided in independent study.

Students will be responsible for a $25 materials fee, payable at the front desk the first day of class. Unlimited access to the Printmaking Studio during Open Studio Hours is included for the duration of the session. This class does not include instruction in screen printing, please see Intro to Screen Printing on Thursday afternoons for screen printing instruction.
