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.

Experimental Screen Printing
J. Leigh Garcia
Tuition $1,345
Code R0101-25
In this 5-day exploratory workshop, we start from the basics of water-based screen printing, then work our way up to more advanced and increasingly experimental techniques. Exciting methods—such as analog processes including reduction with screen filler, and digital processes using photo emulsion—are introduced and demonstrated with plenty of studio time to print. Students also experiment with watercolor monoprinting and even graphite prints. Throughout the week, we discuss tips and techniques that students can use to keep printing at home with minimal setup and equipment.

Photography Meets Printmaking: From Image to Screen
Kate Leonard
Tuition $1,405
Code P0204-25
Dive into image-making and screen printing through the Riso MiScreen silkscreen technique, where creativity meets exploration. This innovative, direct image-to-screen print method invites students to experiment with bold graphic text and imagery while layering them onto collage panels alongside expressive, painterly marks. The technique is perfect for artists eager to take risks, push boundaries, and discover the possibilities of integrating silkscreen's iconic graphic style into their own artistic practice. With its versatility, this approach encourages hands-on exploration, making it a gateway for students to experiment and grow creatively.

Shaped Plate Intaglio
Camilla Taylor
Tuition $1,345
Code R0202-25
Moving beyond the constraints of the rectangle, shaped plate intaglio has endless possibilities and potential applications that can push printmakers into new directions. In this workshop, students learn to make and utilize the basic studio equipment for shaped plate intaglio: a v-slot, and then etch, cut, and print their own shaped copper plate. The workshop culminates with multiple, finished, original prints and the potential to attach a mounting to the shaped copper plate for display. Additionally, shaped plate drypoint with plastic sheeting, papier colle, and spray paint aquatint are explored.
