On and Off the Press with Akua Demo Artist Joyce Silverstone

Have you ever felt inspired by the work of Paul Klee?  Does the soft suggestion of ground and form combined with narrative or abstract line drawings speak to you?  Learn the techniques that he used, and bring them into your studio – no presses required.  Through demonstrations and practice throughout the day, become fluent in simple paper registration, multiple plates for color play, and transfer drawing.  The line quality that reminds us of Paul Klee’s drawings is achieved by touching ink from a plate to paper with various mark making tools.  We will experiment with ink viscosity and a variety of printing papers that enhance the particular character of line transfer.
