SKILL LEVEL: Open to all
SKILL LEVEL: I - II
SKILL LEVEL: I – III
CONCEPT: Investigate the current trends of print
media in contemporary culture and get the tools
you need to make your own artistic statement. This
workshop focuses on water-based photo screen printing
techniques and low-tech stencil printing methods.
Technical demonstrations cover beginning photo screen
printing processes, one- and two-color registration,
a combination of hand dyeing, drawing back into,
manipulation of the surface, water soluble markers,
and hand-cut and photo stencil methods to create
experimental unique prints.
CONCEPT: Discover the symbiotic relationship between
traditional etching and archival digital printing. Revitalize
your vision through the creation of multilayered prints that
combine digital abstractions with handmade illusionistic
representation. This combination of opposite visual
languages creates complex prints, raising important
issues concerning printmaking as a process for analysis
of contemporary visual options. This workshop creates
a place where the real and implied space confront and
challenge each other.
CONCEPT: The print is in the printing and the printing
is in the print. We focus on Mokuhanga (Water-based
Japanese Woodblock Printmaking), as in handmade,
environmentally friendly, do it at home, in any scale, any
time and in any place. The class discipline is to work in
a narrative concept, creating a dialog in both storytelling
and relationship using color, form and space as a
narrative in a diptych or long format. Students compose,
and then recompose printed images to a narrative format
or an installation piece.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Students explore traditional
intaglio beyond the basics along with the introduction
and refinement of digital printing techniques. Successive
demonstration on registration methods, color blending,
ink mixing, digital manipulation and digital workflow are
introduced, along with large blocks of studio time.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Students use traditional and
modern Mokuhanga (Water-based Japanese Woodblock
Printmaking) and its techniques and applications.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Students use acrylic screen
printing ink with a variety of papers, wood and fabric,
photo emulsion, drawings and computer-generated
graphics as preparatory artwork. Students bring images
to print; these should be in black inkjet ink.
ACTIVITIES: We begin with examples of hand-pulled
screen prints as well as a discussion of finished
prints with preparatory artwork. The first technical
demonstration covers emulsion application, photo
process, and wash out. The week proceeds with lots of
studio time. Each day begins with a demonstration and
discussion of the previous day’s work.
FACULTY: John Hitchcock is an artist and Professor at
the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Awards include
The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation Grant, The
Jerome Foundation Grant and artist in residence at
The American Culture Center, Shanghai, China; Frans

ACTIVITIES: We begin by understanding the fundamental
differences and the advantages of traditional etching
and digital printing techniques. We alternate between
demonstration, individual and group critiques and studio
days. Discussions on image making and conceptual
strategies are geared to individual ideas.

ACTIVITIES: We begin with printing exercises during
the first three days. We learn carving techniques and
refine printing techniques followed with demonstrations
and discussion of materials including the baren. We use
various types of wood, paper and printing tools.
