Saturday, February 21 & Sunday, February 22
10 am - 4 pm
Join Annie Silverman, an ardent gardener and relief (mostly woodcut) printmaker in a 4-day exploration where over- arching visual themes will be taken from Nature’s patterns and packages within the plant kingdom .From observational drawings of plant structure through jewelers’ loupes to the creation of compositions that include segments of plants or seed pods as design motifs, participants will enlarge their skills for generating images and translating them into prints.
Using a variety of relief techniques as woodcut, trace monotypes, stencils and masks and simple collograph plates, vocabularies of printmaking matrices will be created that can be used in conjunction with each other to create new gardens of possibilities. If there is interest and need, basic relief printmaking techniques like image transfer onto blocks, tool sharpening, quick and dirty layering and color additions with acetate will be addressed.
Participants are responsible for the materials on the Supply List.
This workshop is limited to 8 participants.
Instructor: Annie Silverman
