Upcoming Classes
- November 30: Frottage: A basic printing technique derived from the French word Frotter, which translates to “rubbing” graphite, charcoal, or pastel onto vellum paper placed over textured objects to create a copy.
- December 7: Monoprints: These one-of-a-kind prints are made from aluminum plates layered with acrylic paint that is then altered using a variety of tools before being transferred onto handmade paper.
- December 14: Collagraph printing: Designs are traced onto special foam with pencil and pen, creating interesting lines, dots, pattern, and texture. Paint is rolled onto the foam and then transferred onto artist grade paper.
- December 21: Linoleum printing: Safety-Kut Linoleum blocks are soft and easy for children to carve with a special cutting tool. Pencil drawings are transferred onto blocks using the frottage technique and a demonstration will take place before children carve their own block. Printing ink is rolled onto the block using a brayer and ink is transferred to artist grade paper using a barren. Two or three prints can be taken home for framing or special holiday gift cards.
