CONCEPT CONCEPT
Prepare for a major paradigm
shift and uncover the possibilities of alternative
digital printing. This workshop debunks the
suspicion that digital printmaking lacks the
flexibility of its predecessors and expands on
the notions of what digital printmaking can be.
Participants examine new possibilities to create
custom printable substrates. These involve
coating a rag fine art paper with Ink Aid or
Golden Digital Grounds, creating digital skins
that can be attached to a variety of surfaces and
printing onto film and transfering the images to
paper, metal and plexiglass. The result of the
week’s work is an expanded idea of what digital
prints can be and uncovering an almost limitless
range of possibilities of what individual imagery
can become.
MEDIA
& TECHNIQUES Students
practice direct printing and image transfers
onto handmade paper, metal, wood, plastics
and fabric and use Adobe Photoshop tools for
creating digital collages.
Sharpen your vision as a
photographer and enrich the context of your
work by exploring the question, “What gives
a photograph meaning?” In this workshop,
students examine the art of photography and
explore how photographs attain meaning.
Photographic elements that supply the work with
the capacity to share a story are also discussed.
Experimentation is encouraged as a means of
pushing past the familiar and finding new ways
of being expressive with photographs. Each
day, students focus on a specific photographic
strategy and consider how subject matter and
form create meaning.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Students use
digital cameras, a digital workflow with Adobe
Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop, and digital
printmaking techniques.
ACTIVITIES
Students review a combination
of digital tools for collage and layering using
Adobe Photoshop. Methods for preparing and
coating alternative substrates, transfer mediums
and integrating images with text and mixed
media are also explored. There are daily discussions,
lectures and hands-on photography exercises.
Students engage in independent shooting, one-
on-one and group discussions, reviews, lectures
and studio time for editing, developing and
printing images. Additionally, hands-on studio
work provides students with the opportunity to
advance their skills. Daily field trips to explore
some of the Rocky Mountains’ most beautiful
areas complement the studio activities.

Basic understanding of Processing required.
CONCEPT
Dive into the possibilities of
the computer’s extraordinary feats in our
digital age. This workshop is ideal for students
looking to expand their control animations
and processing skills as well as those
wanting to use creative coding exported to a
CNC (Computer Numerical Controlled) routing
machine. Participants work with Sublime Text 3
to edit code and HYPE Framework. Throughout
the week, efficient production techniques
are explored.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Students use
Sublime Text 3, a sophisticated text editor for
code, markup and prose. Workshop participants
also use HYPE Framework, a collection of
classes that perform heavy lifting tasks while
using a minimal amount of code writing.
ACTIVITIES
The faculty presents multiple
methods to speed up production while students
participate in hands-on exercises and receive
extensive one-on-one help. The final project is a
vector-based composition that is sent to a CNC
routing machine and etched onto an 11” x 14”
wood panel.
FACULTY
Joshua Davis is an award-winning
designer, technologist, author and artist in new
media and is acclaimed for his role in designing
