Gelli-Plate Printing
Adults
Wednesdays, 10AM - 12PM
October 23 - November 20 (Partial semester)
Instructor - Nancy Crasco
$231 + $25 materials fee

This class welcomes students to dive into the world of gelli-printing. This method is fun and simple, and a beginner-friendly introduction to printmaking without a press. Students will learn to utilize flexible plates by layering paints/inks and textured materials in their art. Various techniques will be introduced, including drawing directly on the plate, using stencils, printing with natural materials, and printing registration to layer colors. Through these methods, students can explore repetitive printing or creating unique compositions each time.
All experience levels are welcome. The printmaking studio utilizes non-toxic materials; all students are asked to review the 2024-25 printmaking studio guidelines provided in a Welcome Email ahead of their first class in the space.
                                                Registration Closed. ​

Painted Poetry Bookmaking
Adults
Tuesdays, 10AM - 12PM
September 17 - November 19
Instructor - Stephanie Stigliano & David Hummon
$399


Explore the intersection of poetry and imagery to craft individual interactive artbooks! This class will include aspects of poetry-writing, watercolor painting, and book-making, led by our wonderful alternating instructors. Both instructors will provide guidance and feedback, allowing students to experiment with pen, ink, and watercolor for their illustrations. By combining each element - from prose to composition and page design, students will develop a better understanding of both the creative thought process and fabrication itself. After exploring two to three different book forms, students can “present” their finished books with a poetry reading event and optional public display. All experience levels are welcome.

Collagraph Cartons
Adults
Tuesdays, 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM
September 17 - November 19
Instructor - Stephanie Stigliano
$378 + $25 materials fee

Experiment with new materials by recycling package cartons into plates for printmaking. Commonly used for milk, juice, soup, and more, Tetra-Pak cartons allow printmakers to benefit from each layered material; this class will introduce students to printing basics, especially overlays and combination of layers. By cutting shape, incising lines, and peeling layers, students can mimic other printmaking techniques like drypoint and aquatint. Utilizing the specific materials, guided instruction, and a bit of imagination, students can utilize these plates to create printed cards, posters, and more. Collaborations within the class, including print exchanges, can then assist in developing and refining personal sense of design.
All experience levels are welcome. The printmaking studio utilizes non-toxic materials; all students are asked to review the 2024-25 printmaking studio guidelines provided in a Welcome Email ahead of their first class in the space.
