VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Innovative Woodcut Methods: blocks, jigsaws and the laser cutter
Jan 12 - 29, 2021
Every Tuesday, Thursday & Friday, 1-4PM MST
Concept
Broaden your relief printmaking skills to include fun and innovative methods with laser cutters. This exciting virtual workshop examines how laser-cut blocks can expand the possibilities of a playful and multilayered approach to making hand-pulled prints. We move fluidly between digital and analog processes, exploring and learning how each can inform our printmaking process and contribute to a flexible, evolving practice of art making. Individual files are laser etched at Anderson Ranch and mailed back to students to print with by hand. Everyone leaves the workshop with files, blocks, finished prints, and ideas of how to integrate technology into their printmaking practices.
This three week workshop will use Zoom Video Conferencing software (download free from Zoom.com) to facilitate the class sessions. An Anderson Ranch staff member will coordinate the online platform. Further details will be emailed to registrants.

Investigations in Lithography: Honing the Essentials

Master Class In this two-week workshop, advanced printmakers explore direct mark-making on ball-grained aluminum plates as well as photographic and hand-drawn imagery with film positives on pre-sensitized photo plates. Developing an understanding of efficient methods for processing and printing are the foundation to producing consistent lithographic editions. Prior background in lithography or extensive work in other printmaking media will serve as the basis for image preparation, plate processing and printing techniques. This workshop does not require that students be proficient in lithography, but they must have significant experience in the field of printmaking.
