printmaking

I had a wonderful visit November 5 with the Print Club, faculty John Paul McCaughey and Stephen Fischer at Rhode Island College for a non-toxic Century Plate lithography demonstration at their amazing new print studio.

 Century Plate Lithography is going International! I spent the weekend of July 13-14 teaching a short and very intensive non-toxic Century Plate Lithography Part 1 class at EFA-Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop to two artists from the Summerworks Residency Program of Art Hub Copenhagen/EFA-RBPMW (Moa Alskog, Anne Louise Blicher), a founding director of KKV Graficworkshop printshop in Malmo, Sweden (Vera Ohlsson) and an artist from Union City, NJ (Ruben Duran). 

The workshop was a super-intensive due to covering a lot in a short amount of time.

Friday - Sunday  July 27 - 29     10 am - 4 pm       

This class will introduce printmakers to Non-toxic Century Plate lithography -  a new, sustainable and environmentally friendly process using re-grainable Century Plates and biologically-based, biodegradable processing materials.  

Artists who like printing with polyester lithographic plates (Pronto Plates) will really enjoy the richer tonality, reciprocity of mark-making, durability, ease of use and predictable results that Century Plates provide. 

Those who prefer lithographic limestones will like the similar surface texture we can

Please visit our workshops page for more information about each course!

If you don't see a workshop date & time that works for you, let me know what you're interested in and when you're available - I might be able to fit you in!  We can work in many techniques including woodcut, linocut, monoprint/monotype, positive-working photo processes and soon....salt etch.  Open studio hours for experienced printmakers are also an option.  Contact me
