In this 4-week-long program, you will be introduced to the basic categories of printmaking and will learn several hand printing techniques which push the boundaries of a traditional printmaking practice. You will produce a series of editioned prints, as well as other printed matter. Investigate a slew of techniques including mono-, object-, texture-, and block printing, as well as hand cut stencils and stamping. Students are free to use Japanese and Western papers, glass, plastic, wood and fabric. No previous experience necessary.
