Printing with Trash: Sustainable Printmaking Techniques

Turn common household trash into a treasured art print! Multisession Duration: 12 hrs completed over 4 days. By purchasing a ticket, you are committing to attend all meetings included in the multisession. Scroll down to reference the Agenda on Eventbrite to indicate which ticket to purchase for that session! Class Description This is an introductory level printmaking course and is most recommended for learners 16 and older. A printing matrix can be made from most materials. By using collographs, drypoint etchings, and monotypes we can achieve incredible imagery using materials that can be found around the house. Over the course of this class students will be prompted to challenge themselves using unconventional materials to create printing plates. These materials include cardboard, aluminum cans, lace and other textured materials. The objective will be to learn to make images using materials that can be found around the house and then printed using the press in the studio. Students will learn how to print these matrices using a press first and then through hand printing techniques so that these processes can be carried on at home! The materials fee for this class is $25. This is separate from the ticket price and is to reimburse the instructor for any tools or materials used in this class. This will be paid once, directly to the instructor at the start of the first class meeting. This instructor accepts Venmo. Learning Objectives<ul><li>Students will learn how to operate a press safely and create prints that can be made into editions. Students will also be introduced to using a press to make images.</li><li>Students will learn about collographs, aluminum plate drypoint etching, and monotype techniques.</li><li>Students will have editions of prints that were made using recyclable materials.
