Recycled Printmaking

Make etching-like prints using ordinary household materials instead of copper plates! In this class, you will learn traditional printing techniques while exploring various methods of creating line, tone, and texture using a deconstructed juice carton as a matrix. We will use masking, chine collé, and pochoir to push the possibilities. This method is much faster than etching, so you will have the opportunity to produce a lot of work in a short time. All experience levels are welcome.
