July 25-July 31, 2010
1 credit hour
Instructor: Jeanine Coupe-Ryding
$50 Lab Fee
A workshop for those with a story to tell or ideas to illustrate. Using woodcut printmaking for its broad range of expressive possibilities, from abstract, minimal to intricately carved narrative, participants will carve and print blocks to bind into books. Four binding styles will be shown; accordion, Japanese. non adhesive folded and simple sewn. Traditional processes such as hand drawn design and carving are combined with Xerox transfer, stencil and chine colle to expand expressive possibilities. Students are encouraged to explore photo, found and collage imagery. Various approaches to these processes will be shown through slides, books and actual artwork.
Emphasis is on the experimental and the effectiveness of the print as it relates to the idea or story, as well as the impact of the book format on the idea it presents. All processes can be done at home and are non-toxic. No experience necessary.

The Borderless Print
August 1-August 14, 2010
3 credit hours
Instructor: Martin Basher
$100 Lab Fee
Printmaking's greatest quality is it reproducibility. From the simplest of historical beginnings to the vast variety of techniques available to the contemporary printmaker, one thing remains constant - the image can be made over and over. Yet today, with reproduced imagery penetrating every aspect of life, the question arises: what exactly is a print anyway? A work in ink on paper? A physical process of reproduction? A repeated image? Where is the line drawn? This course invites students to experiment with printmaking's potential as an incredibly dynamic drawing tool, and to work creatively with printmaking's greatest quality - potentially endless reproduction. Starting with a technical grounding in Etching and Silkscreen, this class will operate with the assertion that there are no limits to what you can do with a printed image, just endless possibility. The course will get you using print to push out beyond borders, and well beyond the edges of the printing press. Students will be able to take advantage of the Ox-Bow campus as a worksite - and will be encouraged to consider the print as a means to develop ambitious works that break from a square border and become collage, multi-media, temporal, three dimensional, and even performative. The Borderless Print will be about finding the most dynamic, creative possibility in printmaking, and creating work that harnesses that potential to the fullest. This course requires previous printmaking experience in etching and screenprinting.
