Learn the fundamentals of a printing press and the power of print as a medium by making cut paper collages. We'll explore a traditional printing technique called Chine-Colle, which is used to bind thinner substrates like rice paper or linen to rag paper. Inspired by paper collages such as those of Henri Matisse, colored papers treated with wheat paste can be cut and arranged on plexiglass before being bound to the rag paper backing on the press. It’s a fancy version of classic Elmer’s glue and construction paper!

Stempniewicz, Casha

Casha Stempniewicz is an artist and educator based in RVA. They graduated from VCUarts in 2017 with a double BFA in Art Education and Painting + Printmaking. Their studio art practice resides in the blended world of drawing, painting, printmaking, and collage. Casha believes making art is an essential human experience. As a teacher, Casha encourages their students to quiet their self-doubts, to trust in their senses, to experiment, and to connect with their bodies and minds through hands on experiences. Since Casha’s teaching and artmaking practices inform and enhance each other, it makes sense for them to teach and create in the same space. Casha found this space in the Visual Arts Center of Richmond where they first became involved as a Printmaking Studio Monitor in 2019. Since then, Casha has been teaching through Vis Arts programs such as Artventure, Art After School, Art League, Second Fridays, and Engage Workshops.
