Bad Etching, Mono Print Mania, and the Attitude of Drawing
June 22-July 5, 2007
3 credit hours
Instructors: Michelle Grabner and Brad Killam
$100 Lab Fee
This multi-level course offers all students the opportunity to experiment with the potential of etching. Plates will be used as a malleable template in the production of unique prints and multiples as opposed to the exacting standards of editions. This, in turn, lends itself to a broad range of printing approaches, often thought of as experimental, summarily referred to as monoprinting. Drawing principles are also paramount to this class since this attitude toward printmaking requires immediate and resourceful responses to ideas, materials, and environment. The course balances the tradition of the etching press with the versatility of drawing.

Blockprint to Book
July 13-July 19, 2008
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, participants will carve and print small blocks to bind into books. Traditional processes such as hand drawn design and carving are combined with xerox transfer and stencil to create images. Three binding styles will be studied: accordian, Japanese, and simple sewn. Various approaches to these processes will be shown through slides, books, and actual artwork. Emphasis is on the experimental, the effectiveness of the print as it relates to the idea or story, and the impact of the book as a whole on the idea it presents. All processes are non- toxic and can be done at home.
