creative woodblock printmaking

SKILL LEVEL: Open to all

SKILL LEVEL: III - IV

CONCEPT:  Using only a single silkscreen frame
to produce a limited edition, multi-color screen
print, we explore a wide frontier of hand-reduction stenciling and multi-color printing. Many of
the stenciling and printing techniques presented
were personally developed by Tim during 43
years of screen printing and 38 years of teaching
at the University of Texas at Austin. Hands-on
practice, daily exposure to a rich personal collection of contemporary screen prints, plus a number of useful take-home instructions facilitate
further exploration of this fascinating process.

CONCEPT:  This hands-on workshop takes us
from printing text and images to assembling
our materials into book form. We generate
quantities of pages and steer the structure of
our books using low-tech methods for text and
various printmaking approaches derived from
relief printing, monotypes and collagraphs.
Concepts for invention, multi-level sensory
experience are all explored in a collaborative
atmosphere. We examine the book both as an
edition and as a unique object while translating
image making and found sources into efficient,
meaningful sequences.

Screen Printing: hand processes


From Text & Image into Book 

MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Registration methods,
color printing strategies, ink mixing, proofing
and printing, and color blending; positive and
negative stencil techniques including hand
stylus, ruling pen, brush, mouth atomizer,
airbrush, toothbrush spatter, rubber stamps,
gloss medium resist, drawing fluid resist,
aquarelle resist and others.
ACTIVITIES:  Mornings begin with presentation
of screen prints followed by a demonstration of technique and process. Personal work
time before lunch; presentations and technical
instruction each afternoon followed by studio
work time. Individual instruction as needed.

MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Low-tech methods for
text printing including rubber stamping, carving
in reverse onto wood, pasting type down onto a
collagraph plate, using old wood type and operating a portable proof press. We develop images
from woodcut, collagraph and monoprinting. Our
finished editions are either bound or accordionfolded books with oil- and water-based inks.
ACTIVITIES:  Successive demonstrations of
plate making and printing for each technique
are introduced, interspersed with large blocks
of creative time. Mid-workshop we shift into
step-by-step directed book binding of specific
structures to develop skills and bring projects
to completion. Individual reviews, consultation
and technical assistance are offered as well.

FACULTY: Tim High received an M.F.A. in printmaking and an M.A. in art history from University of
Wisconsin-Madison. A recipient of an NEA Individual Artist’s Fellowship, he initiated and heads
the screen printing program at the University of
Texas at Austin. His work is featured in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and
the Art Institute of Chicago. He has participated
in numerous solo and group shows.

FACULTY:  Karen Kunc is a Cather Professor of
Art at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln.
She exhibits internationally and has taught
workshops in Egypt, Italy, Bangladesh, Poland,
Japan, Finland and across the U.S.

Sosaku Mokuhanga: 
Hiroki Morinoue
SKILL LEVEL: III - IV

CONCEPT:  During this course, we practice the
ancient tradition of mokuhanga woodblock
printmaking. In this process the linear details of
the key plate are created first, then color plates
are produced later. In the early days of Japanese
woodcut prints it was simply easier to register
color to line than line to color. Contemporary
printmakers find that the age-old method offers
distinctive creative possibilities. We explore traditional and contemporary printing techniques
to enhance our own artistic visions.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: Mokuhanga (Japanese
woodblock printmaking); individual work time;
individual and group discussions with faculty.
ACTIVITIES:  Exploration with traditional tools
and techniques and invention of other ways
and means to develop personal and original
prints. Carving and printing demonstrations
on alternative techniques and approaches are
presented throughout the week. Discussions
on image making and dynamics of design are
geared to individual ideas.
FACULTY:  Hiroki Morinoue received his B.F.A.
from the California College of Arts. He began
teaching mokuhanga at Anderson Ranch over
20 years ago. He spent two months in Japan
in 2012 for an intensive artist-in-residence program sponsored by Mokuhanga Innovation
Laboratory (MI-LAB).
