In this workshop we will create repeatable drypoint plates that can be inked and rolled using color monotype methods.  To warm-up on the first day we will begin with guided mark-making experiences which will serve as the basis for making drypoint lines into plastic plates. These plates will be inked in an intaglio manner and printed on dampened rag papers. With the introduction of colorful monotype mark-making, experimental moments of composing variations between these two techniques will be explored. Playful juxtapositions…

This two-day workshop explores creating encaustic collagraph plates from Ampersand clay boards and printing onto Japanese and Encaustiflex papers. This semi-private workshop in my Portland studio pushes past the Encaustic Collagraph Printmaking technique that I pioneered, breaking the rules some more, this time with printmaking! You will learn some basic encaustic towards mark making and building texture. A comprehensive demonstration will cover applying the wax and the use of various encaustic techniques towards building the printing plate along with dry…

This two-day semi-private workshop in my Portland studio covers the various steps of the Encaustic Collagraph technique that I pioneered, more from a painter's point of view. You will learn some basic rudiments of encaustic and then we will dive in using various common tools of the medium. A comprehensive demonstration will cover applying the wax and use of various encaustic techniques that I married with collagraph as well as dry point etching, mark making, incising, embossing, and the use…

Does the soft suggestion of ground and form combined with narrative or abstract line drawings speak to you? Learn the techniques that can bring this 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.  We will experiment with altering the viscosity of Akua Intaglio Inks and use a variety of printing papers that can enhance the transfer of ink to paper…
