COLLAGRAPH:
Collagraph presents amazing possibilities and variations with the
capability of printing small editions. Everyone will be able to explore
the many rich and textural facets of the collagraph, creating plates by
using an acrylic polymer to adhere a vast variety of objects, cardboard
shapes, and carborundum grits. The collagraphic plate may be printed in
either intaglio or relief. Colors may be blended on one plate or several
plates can be printed for multi color prints. Experiment with color and
embossed texture while allowing expression with drawing and line in a
unique printmaking process.
WATER BASED MONOTYPE:
This workshop will focus on water based mediums and techniques. Explore
the varied possibilities of the monotype medium while also learning safe and non-toxic procedures. Additive and subtractive methods as well
as brush, rollout, crayon, stencil, mask and airbrush will be used. Printing with or without a press will be covered, and clean up is a
breeze.
CHINE’ COLLE’ & MONOTYPE:
Do you have flat files and portfolios full of old drawings, prints and
scraps of fine papers too good to throw away but not worthy of a frame,
let alone shrink-wrap? Then this workshop is for you. Incorporate those
old goodies into something new with this collage process. Chine’ colle’
is a collage process that is glued simultaneously while a print is being
transferred. The result is a wonderfully uniform collage surface. Chine’
colle’ may be used in partnership with all print media or as a medium
unto itself.
SOLARPLATE:
Master printmaker Dan Weldon, originator of SOLARPLATE, will demonstrate
this simple and exciting process in an intensive three-day workshop. Printmaking with SOLARPLATE is a safe alternative to traditional etching
and relief printing. SOLARPLATE is a prepared light sensitive polymer
surface on a steel backing. Water and ultra violet light affect the
unexposed polymer and
any areas of the plate blocked out from the light remain water-soluble. The remaining areas become hardened. Washing out the blocked areas with
tap water creates etching. No acid, asphaltum grounds or petroleum
solvents are used in any way for the preparation of the plate. The
etched SOLARPLATE may be used for traditional intaglio or relief
printing. The Solar Plate workshop dates for 2004 are July 3-5.Contact Lynch Press Studio for more information on th 2004 workshop.
