printmaking
Shed the confines of traditional printmaking environments and
conventions, and discover an exciting new world of this historically-
rooted medium. Anderson Ranch’s Patton Printmaking Studio
is fully equipped and impeccably clean, with tools and supplies
organized and within reach—always catering to your creative whim.
Additionally, the studio houses one lithography press and three
intaglio presses.
Our printmaking team fosters a supportive studio atmosphere,
where artists have the freedom to experiment, take risks and
try new techniques. Summer 2018 print workshops offer a fresh
take on traditional printmaking, mixing experimental attitudes and
processes with opportunities to integrate digital technologies. Screen
printing, relief, intaglio, monoprinting, bookmaking, mokuhanga,
and lithography may be explored. Beginning printmakers build
their skills, while established printmakers broaden their knowledge
through new processes, challenges and critical feedback.
All necessary materials are available, including both oil- and water-
based inks and solvents, with an emphasis on non-toxic options.
Workshops also have computer access with Adobe software, wi-
fi, printing, scanning and projection capabilities. Students have
access to large individual worktables, wall space, palettes, odorless
solvents, rags, hand and power tools.
At Anderson Ranch, the process of printmaking honors tradition,
innovation, community and collaboration. We invite you to explore,
experiment, and expand your visual expression in this truly
captivating environment.
