Workshop conducted by Ron Pokrasso. Using monotype as the primary technique, you will learn how to incorporate multiple plates and collage elements to create your own richly layered compositions. Learn how to think in layers, where many options become available in one or more impressions. While you have a monotype plate in progress, you may decide to incorporate a background plate and perhaps a collage element or even an intaglio plate. This workshop includes a section on Solarplate, a contemporary…

Encaustic Collagraph Monoprinting with Elise Wagner
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…

In this two day workshop, we will focus on developing surface composition by layering underglazes and glazes directly onto leather hard clay. Custom paper and reusable die-cut vinyl stencils will be used to create layered patterns, shapes, and detailed imagery. Students will be able to explore these techniques directly onto their own wheel-thrown or hand-built surfaces. The techniques and materials used during this workshop have the flexibility to be fired to any temperature/atmosphere. Call Companion Gallery at to book your…

This is a workshop about variety and how to combine different printmaking techniques together to create an exciting image. Working with plexiglass and Yupo (a synthetic paper), artists will learn print processes such encaustic collagraph, drypoint, Akua Carborundum Gel and monotype. Layering plates to print on top of one another yields great depth to the image. Each day will bring surprises and a new strategy to push your work to another level. We will investigate color transparency with Akua Inks, …
