Susan Belau, Barricades and Sky (detail) August 5 — 9 I Experimental Color Etching II Susan Belau III CONCEPT Explore the range of marks available in the etching process and the flexibility of intaglio printing to create variable editions. Focusing on color printing, students discover the delicate lines, painterly gestures and bold tonal shapes possible with intaglio processes. Strategies for expanding beyond conventional printing techniques are introduced and students create multiple copper plates that can be printed in combination or individually. Selective inking, the shaped plate, drawing directly on the print, the paper surface built up through collage, overprinting and mismatched plates explore the print as both image and object. Lari Gibbons, Process August 12 — 16 II Mysterious Marks: monoprinting in oil- & water-based ink Lari Gibbons Karen Lederer Basic Photoshop skills required. www.susanbelau.com CONCEPT MEDIA & TECHNIQUES MEDIA & TECHNIQUES FACULTY Susan Belau uses representation and abstraction to connect the processes of drawing and printmaking to landscape, memory and place. She is an Associate Professor at San Francisco State University. Susan received her MFA in Printmaking from University of Nebraska, Lincoln and trained as a printer at Paulson Press in Berkeley, CA. ACTIVITIES Students use oil-based inks, tube watercolor paints, Stabilo Woody crayons, Caran D’Ache crayons, pencils, stencils, craft foam and paper to create unique prints. The workshop focuses on incorporating both graphic and painterly elements into each print. ACTIVITIES Students investigate various techniques through demonstrations, explore both graphic and gestural mark-making, engage avenues of nontraditional methods of printmaking, conduct individual and group discussions, have directed warm-up exercises and enjoy plenty of studio time. FACULTY Lari Gibbons is an artist who explores new and traditional approaches to printmaking through collaborative, interdisciplinary projects. She is professor at the University of North Texas and also directs P.R.I.N.T, a nonprofit fine art press. Lari received an MFA from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. Karen Lederer received her MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. She was an artist-in-residence at Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop Program, Lower East Side Printshop and the Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program. Her work has recently been exhibited at: Anya Tish Gallery, Houston; Grant Wahlquist Gallery, Portland, ME; Field Projects, New York; Danese/Corey, New York; and Cuevas Tilleard, New York. www.larigibbons.com www.karenlederer.com FACULTY TUITION $985 TUITION $985 TUITION + STUDIO SUPPORT DONATION $1,185 TUITION + STUDIO SUPPORT DONATION $1,185 TUITION + STUDIO SUPPORT DONATION $1,185 REGISTRATION FEE $45 | STUDIO FEE $100 REGISTRATION FEE $45 | STUDIO FEE $100 REGISTRATION FEE $45 | STUDIO FEE $100 CODE R1010-19 ENROLLMENT LIMIT 10 CODE R1111-19 ENROLLMENT LIMIT 10 CODE R1212-19 ENROLLMENT LIMIT 10 50 | andersonranch.org II Examine how laser-cut stencils and woodblocks can expand the possibilities of a multilayered, painterly and playful approach to making hand-pulled prints. Using Anderson Ranch Art Center’s Digital Fabrication Lab (“FabLab”) and the Patton Print Shop, students produce unique, one-of-a-kind impressions called monoprints. After working with laser-cut paper stencils, we create shaped plates and incorporate engraved woodblocks. Digital and analog processes are integrated, creating a dynamic studio practice. CONCEPT This workshop features hands- on demonstrations in the FabLab and print shop followed by ample studio time. We combinine informal discussion and group feedback with personalized instruction and ongoing technical assistance. Students begin by using drawings to develop into multiple copper plates. We experiment with color and materials. Each day includes demonstrations followed by studio time and reflections on work in progress through individual and group critiques. I This exciting monoprinting workshop explores the rich intersection between painting and printmaking. It begins with an investigation into watercolor monoprinting in which students print from watercolor paintings, water-soluble crayon drawings and plastic and paper stencils. Students then incorporate oil-based inks to create one-of-a-kind prints that are bold and luminescent. The workshop covers a wide range of techniques, from stencil printing to trace monotype. Both oil-based and water-based materials are used in the same print maximizing on the benefits of each. ACTIVITIES We learn the fundamentals of etching processes and color printing. Demonstrations include printing and registration techniques, chine collé, printing with stencils, variations in inking, and hand- coloring methods. Students work with a variety of papers with an emphasis on Japanese paper for printing, offset and collage. August 19 — 23 Monoprint for Makers: III using laser-cut blocks, jigsaws & stencils Students use the FabLab to engrave woodblocks and cut paper stencils that can be combined with hand-drawn matrices and marks in the print shop. Students who have a laptop with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator should bring it, along with a flash drive. Those without one may use available equipment. Although the instructor demonstrates how to prepare images for digital applications, basic Photoshop skills are necessary.
