A Printmaking Sampler with the artists of the Hartford Press Co-op

The transfer of ink to paper is the essential component in the making of prints. Something truly

magical happens during this process. There are many methods to achieve the transfer and

create a unique handmade print - and you will be able to try out several of them during this 6

week course. Designed to be an entry level exploration of Printmaking as a medium for the

curious beginner, we know you’ll be just as enamored with making prints as we are!

Each method will be explained step by step while you work with your instructor to create exciting

new pieces in five different media! Explore the techniques of Drypoint with Christopher Roque, Monotype with Jenni Freidman, Screenprint with Kathleen Woodward of Woodward

Paper Company, Book Arts with Krista Narciso and Relief with Alexis Christina Crowley.

In addition to making lots of beautiful work, each participant will have the opportunity to view

actual examples of each technique, watch demonstrations, share in conversation and enjoy the

community that develops while working collectively in a shared space. All of these ingredients

are the hallmarks of Printmaking and are part of what make the medium so special.

Curiosity and excitement are encouraged!

There is lots of fun to be had and tons of beautiful prints & books to be made, join us!
