Poly Litho with Barry Carlsen
Explore the artist-friendly process
of polyester plate lithography. Prints will be created on an etching press, however this highly versatile medium is more direct
than intaglio printing. It also eliminates the chemicals, processing time, costs, and technical difficulties associated with
traditional lithographic or intaglio printing. No past printmaking experience is necessary.
This is a one day
course with an optional second day. Materials and technical handouts will be provided. Students should come prepared with
some ideas to pursue. The first day will began with a short history of lithography and a short series of technical demonstrations.
The majority of time will be involved in creating a small black and white artist's edition. The second day can be utilized
to add color to the edition by monoprinting, additional color plates or hand-coloring techniques. It can also be a day of
independent exploration. July
31 or July 31 & Aug
1 10-4:30 July 31 only $95/35 supplies July 31/Aug 1 $185/45 supplies (additional materials will be
