Venture into the exciting world of stencils
in a focused five-day workshop. Participants produce a
series of watercolor monotypes, and work with layering,
textures and various plate surfaces, including vellum and
collagraphs, in this fun and engaging course. With an
emphasis on cut stencils, this luminous and fluid process
works well with both realism and abstraction. The
method is primarily non-toxic and offers an exceptionally
wide tonal range, often exhibiting the density of an oil
painting. We gain inspiration and developmental ideas
from looking at prints by Homare Ikeda, Melissa Meyer,
Nancy Friese, Katherine Bowling, Ken Buhler and others
who work in the watercolor monotype medium.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Students create with both
tube and pan watercolors and gouache paints. We
learn proper paper preparation, primarily using unsized
fine printing papers. There is ample time to focus on a
particular series.
ACTIVITIES: Short daily demonstrations occur each
morning and after lunch. These demonstrations include
a viewing of watercolor monotypes, test printing, plate
preparation with a gum base, basic color mixing, various
methods of paint application, printing registration, print
drying and signing. We discuss examples of the medium
and develop a cohesive body of prints.
FACULTY: Master Printer Sue Oehme is the owner
of Oehme Graphics, a fine print publisher based in
Steamboat Springs, Colo. Sue worked at Tyler Graphics
and Riverhouse Editions, and has taught printmaking
workshops at Northwestern University, Denver
University, the Women’s Studio Workshop, Brandeis
University, Boston University and Scripps College, and
lectured at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

critical dialogue
fostered a creative community that operated outside
the pressures of New York City, including artists like Ed
Ruscha, David Hockney, Bruce Nauman, Judy Chicago,
Robert Irwin and John Baldessari. This workshop takes
a captivating step back in art history to examine the
madcap era in Southern California that cultivated the
thriving cultural scene of today, focusing on icons like
Andy Warhol, Frank Gehry, the Beach Boys, and Dennis
Hopper. We also explore the significant and influential
development of the use of collage and assemblage as an
alternative to traditional painting or sculpture by taking
a look at African American artists like Noah Purifoy and
women like Alexis Smith and Betye Saar. Using these
and other techniques, the program explores L.A.’s unique
history and the ways in which its artists produced their
work.

Explore the art of relief printing in both
black and white as well as color while experimenting
with different materials and tools to make painterly
or graphic woodcuts. Design, drawing, and color
are stressed throughout this workshop while giving
attention to students’ per sonal aesthetic direction.
Freedom and process is emphasized as students work
their way through various cutting and drawing tools as
well as registering and printing techniques. Significant
historical and modern applications of relief printing will
are addressed via a presentation and prints from the
Anderson Ranch print collection. This is a studio course
with emphasis on experimentation.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: We use woodcarving tools to
create one-color and multiple-color relief prints as well
as a color reduction woodcut using the same matrix but
multiple impressions, employing transferring techniques
as well as design and mark-making methods in wood or
linoleum. Students gain understanding of Eastern and
Western papers, registration methods and dry chine collé
techniques.
ACTIVITIES: This workshop introduces relief printing
through technical demonstrations. The rest of class
time is spent working independently on projects with
assistance from the instructor. Studio time is balanced
with a slide presentation on historical and contemporary
woodcuts and readings putting this medium in a historical
context.
